Flashcot is an interface between Adobe Flash Player and other web players. These web players can control Flashcot to load graphic content, encode its bitmap data, and transmit it back to the caller. Flashcot uses JavaScript for fast communication speed.

FLASHCOT AND UNITY PLAYER

Flashcot is compatible with Unity, a game development tool that renders awesome 3D graphics. Developers can control Flashcot from Unity applications and request graphic captures of Flash content at any time. These captures can be used as textures to paint 3D objects, as user interface backgrounds, and more.

MAIN FEATURES (version 1.1)

• Supports all Flash native graphic and interactive formats, which include swf, jpg, gif and png.
• Loads multiple content with a managed queue and allows referencing by name.
• Executes graphic encoding in parallel releasing system resources for other web players, that otherwise would make them delay or freeze.
• Encoding process time slices can be controlled for high and low priority tasks.
• Supports bitmap encoding in RGB and ARGB color schemes, with 8 bit for each color channel: alpha, red, green and blue.
• Represents bitmap data with ANSI and UTF-16 character sets, that can be selected for better performance in different web browsers.
• Transfers bitmaps straight to other web players using the JavaScript interface inside the HTML page. There are no server saves or reloads, all the data is communicated in the client itself for highest speed.
• Can be hidden in the web page to avoid interference with other players.
• Simulates mouse press and release events in loaded Flash content.
