Question

How do I import flash player into java? I have created a browser and I want it to run flash, but I don't know how to go about doing so. Is this possible? Will I have to compile it first - before I can install flash? Or is there a way to kind of import or add flash into the actual source so that I'm able to run flash using my web browser.

In most browsers Adobe Flash runs as a plugin. This means that the browser runs the Flash player as a separate program, gives it some room on the screen to display itself, and passes inputs and handles outputs.

You will almost certanly need a licence from Adobe if you want to embed the flash plugin into your software, and you'll probably need to think about cross platform issues. Adobe's website has a bunch more info.
