# Flash

Library which runs .swf Flash files natively in Node.js. Inspired by Scaleform (embedded hardware-accelerated vector rending engine). Currently only supports SDL. 

## WIP

I'm not sure what I want to do with this. I just felt like laying it out.  

Warning: Not entirely working, especially on Mac OS X (issues with Cocoa/SDL). Doesn't spawn the rendering window most of the time. Need to fix it up.

## Install

1) Download and install OpenGL (included in Xcode on Mac OS X).  

2) Download and install SDL into your compiler's global library directory (/usr/lib) - required for linking.  

On Mac OS X using Homebrew:  

`brew install sdl`

`brew install jpeg`

1) Clone the repository.  

2) Go to the directory with flash library.  

3) Execute `node-waf configure build`.  

4) Get module from `./build/default/flash.node`.  

  

From the repository directory, you can use `var flash = require("build/default/flash");`  

You can then run `npm install .` and use `var flash = require("flash");` from any path.

## Status

Compiled on Mac. Still converting the `gameswf` library. Currently stuck at spawning an OpenGL window. Trying on Linux.

## API

### Functions

`flash.start(filename)` - Starts the interpreter.  

`flash.run()` - Moves the interpreter forward. Must be looped, with for instance setTimeout.  

`flash.stop()` - Stops the interpreter.  

### Classes

`flash.window()`

## Usage

Please see the example in `test/window.js`  

	var flash = require('flash');

	var window = new flash.window();

## Contribute

Generate .cpp list with: `find . -name \*.cpp -print`  

Remove files: 

	./lib/base/Stackwalker.cpp

	./lib/base/test_ogl.cpp

	./lib/gameswf/gameswf_render_handler_d3d.cpp

	./lib/gameswf/gameswf_render_handler_xbox.cpp

	./lib/gameswf/gameswf_render_handler_ogles.cpp

	./lib/gameswf/gameswf_sound_handler_openal.cpp

	./lib/gameswf/gameswf_parser.cpp

	./lib/gameswf/gameswf_processor.cpp

	./lib/gameswf/gameswf_test_ogl.cpp

## TODO

* Fix window bug (on Mac OS X).

* Check cross-compatibility.

* Clean up dependencies.
