= Analysis =

== Overview ==
This task is about embedding flash in Sophie. The purpose of this revision is to perform a research on embedding flash. As a result a simple demo of c++ - java communication displaying flash will be present.

== Task requirements ==
 * perform research for a suitable library
 * write a simple demo
== Task result ==
 A simple demo for the communication between java and c++ displaying a .swf file. 
== Implementation idea ==
Use swfdec library. Possibly gnash if swfdec turns to be improper. 

== Related ==

== How to demo ==
Run the created demo.

= Design =
The idea is to create a few classes in both the c++ and java sides and implement communication between them.
 * In the java part:
  * Create a class SwfdecCommunicator that will implement the communication between the java and c++ code:
   * create a construct that takes a string - path to the c++ executable as its only argument
   * create a method sendCommand that sends a command to the c++ executable and returns the result as a BufferedImage. For the purposes of this demo there are only two possible commands - one with code -1 meaning "terminate" and another with code 1 meaning "get next frame".
  * Create a class FlashMovieDemo that will play the flash movie in a JFrame. This class will extend javax.awt.Component so that it can be added as a component in the Jframe object. 
   * create a main method that will perform the creation of the JFrame and will take care that it is repainted accordingly.
 * In the c++ part:
  * Create a class SwfdecCommunicator that will hold the SwfdecPlayer object needed to decode the swf file.
   * create a constructor that takes as its only argument the url to the swf file. This method will create the SwfdecPalyer and take care that it is properly initialized.
   * create a method setSize that sets the size of the player
   * create a method outputToCairo that renders the current frame to a cairo object
   * create a method advance that will advance the player to the next frame
  * Create a class CairoHandler that handles the cairo object and takes care that it is properly destroyed. Make SwfdecCommunicator it's friend class so that it can render to the CairoHandlers cairo object. 
  * Create a main function that performs the demo.
