Flash`In`App is a Cocoa framework that lets you load and fully manage Adobe Flash movies directly from your own applications for Mac OS X.
Flash`In`App contains a set of classes, which provide any application with the abilities to play SWF files, manage their playback, communicate with them via External API, FSCommands or Variables, control external resources loading, and much more.
