I’ve just received interesting news from Eltima Software! Please read below:
Ever thought endowing your application with more abilities? You can do it now!
As Flash gets more and more popular each day, applications that handle Flash grow popular as well. And if you don’t know a bit about Flash and coding it, there are some solutions out there that can help you a lot. Flash’In’App by Eltima Software is one of those.
Flash’In’App is a free (note, completely free!) Cocoa framework that will let you manage Flash movies directly from your own applications. Basically, Flash’In’App is a set of classes, which enable any application with the ability to playback Flash SWF files and communicate with them via External API, FSCommands or Variables, control external resources loading, and much more.
Eltima notes, that the users of applications which have Flash’In’App enabled, will need Mac OS X 10.4 or later and Flash Player 8 installed. Please, don’t forget that Flash’In’App is completely free for personal use.
