Horde3D

To create a more advanced GUI system I've made a library to render Flash content to any texture in the engine.
It should plug in nicely and has a C-Api similar to Horde3D. Functions for communication to and from the flash movie are available. I've included a demo application and an ActionScript 3 Flex project to show what's possible. A little documentation is included. This code only works on Windows. Download beta HERE.



Have a nice day!

Hey jimbo, that is awesome! Thanks a lot for making this available to the horde community!

I have just compiled your code using VS2005. The only issue was that one needs to include <rpcsal.h> in dllmain.cpp, otherwise the RPC qualifiers are all undefined.

What about creating a wiki page for your project which gives a basic overview? I guess that could be a good starting point for the community.

BTW, it seems that something similar is available for ogre. So it's really great that we have a solution as well now

Just updated to v0.2:

Added name parameter to h3dfCreateTexture().
Added h3dfRemoveTexture() function.
Added h3dfPlay() function
Added h3dfStop() function
Added include for rpcsal.h for older compilers.

Hi, demo is too impressive. Is it possible to have transparent backgrounds too? [I mean removing those black boxes]

Yes, transparency is supported. I've just updated the demo to show some transparency in the menu items.

I'm a fan of Flash and AS3ing too. That's great to do the game gui stuff with Flash and it would make the life a lot easier than before and theres no need to write a lot of code to manage a simple gui. BTW, Horde3DFlash rocks!!!

I've updated the library a bit:

h3dfCreateTexture is now a utility function, you can also apply flash to existing textures.
h3dfCreate(..) is now the creation function to apply Flash to any texture.
Rendering on the texture is now UV (bottom-left = 0,0) so it applies correctly on existing textures.
Updated the demo.
