This is a renderer built from source code that we licensed from Macromedia.

So that source code cannot be made part of the public Helix source code. We have, however, built this source code into a distribution library for many platforms such as Windows, Mac, and Linux. The renderer stub which links into this distribution library is found at datatype/flash/renderer. The source code which hosts the installed Flash player can be found in datatype/flash/flashhost with its base class at datatype/common/basehost. > 3) If not, where is the interface to Macromedia Flash > engine located? > 4) What would be the ideal point from where I can start > looking at the Helix code to understand the code flow, say > for Playback of SWF file. > This is probably the best place to start: https://helix-client.helixcommunity.org/architecture.html with specific emphasis on the clinet architecture: https://client.helixcommunity.org/2003/devdocs/intro/client_intro.htm Eric ============================================= Eric Hyche (ehychereal.com) Technical Lead RealNetworks, Inc. > Regards > Abhishek > > _______________________________________________ Helix-client-dev mailing list Helix-client-devhelixcommunity.org http://lists.helixcommunity.org/mailman/listinfo/helix-client-dev
