Architecture: generic

Introduction:
-------------

This is the source code for FlashPlayer v. 1.6, including both the stand-
alone player and the IBrowse plugin. It includes the source code for v.
0.5.6 of the SWF library, modified for use in FlashPlayer from the original
v. 0.4.10, which was written by Olivier Debon. (The SWF library is a linker
library, not a stand-alone Amiga library.)

The FlashPlayer source was written for SAS/C v. 6.58, and may require some
modification to work with other compilers. It was designed as an Amiga-only
program, and is not readily portable to other platforms.

The SWF library source was written to work with a generic C++ compiler (does
not make use of any advanced/newer C++ features), and should be readily
portable to other platforms. It compiles fine using SAS/C's ancient cfront-
based C++ compiler, and so should compile under just about anything.

Both the FlashPlayer (standalone and plugin) and the SWF library code are
distributed under the terms of the GNU GPL.

Features:
---------

FlashPlayer is an Amiga player for Adobe's "flash" (SWF) format files. The
FlashPlayer plugin is a version of FlashPlayer adapted for use as an IBrowse
plugin. See the main FlashPlayer and FlashPlayerPlugin archives (found on
Aminet under gfx/show) for a detailed list of features.

Requirements:
-------------

Compiling FlashPlayer (either version) requires the Amiga OS 3.0 or better
includes, as well as the includes for guigfx.library, AHI, and openurl.lib-
rary, none of which are included. All but the Amiga includes are available
on Aminet. The SWF library is required when building FlashPlayer.

Compiling the SWF library requires the source code for libjpeg v. 6b, the
source code for zlib v. 1.2.3, and the source code for libmad v. 0.15.1b,
none of which are included (but all of which are freely available on the
Internet- URLs are included).
