JFlashPlayer
Flash Player Java Package for Windows
 

Features Overview

  • Play Flash Movies within your Java Application
  • Communicate between Java and Flash
  • Control the Flash Player (Play, Stop, etc)
JFlashPlayer lets Java developers play and control Adobe™ Flash movies within Java applications. Advanced animations can improve the user experience and add to the professional appearance of an application. JFlashPlayer allows programmers to quickly add Flash movies to their Java application development for Windows.

With JFlashPlayer, the developer programmatically controls the Flash Player interface including the following functionality:

  • listen to Flash events (FSCommand Flash action)
  • set and retrieve Flash variables
  • call frame actions
  • play
  • stop
  • back
  • forward
  • rewind to beginning
  • set loop (on or off)
  • set animation quality
  • set background color

If the required version of the Flash player is not installed, the programmer can automatically install an included player. This makes a Java program with JFlashPlayer more widely usable since the programmer can install Flash if needed.

Only a few lines of code are needed to add JFlashPlayer to your Java programs:

// specify the required version in case its not available
FlashPanel.setRequiredFlashVersion("6");
// image1 is a java.awt.Image to be displayed on any error
FlashPanel flashPanel = new FlashPanel(new File("demo.swf"), image1);

Full documentation and example code provide everything needed to integrate this Java API. JFlashPlayer has been rigorously tested and is being used by many Fortune 500 companies.
