Re: write a flash player by python

I am not sure if there is a Python module out there that includes the .swf file format. However you can press your webbrowser into service ...

python Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
import webbrowser
 
# html code to embed a .swf flash file player
str1 = """
<html>
<head>
<title>Embedded SWF Player</title>
</head>
<body onLoad="resizeTo(560, 500);">
<!--  you can put your own .swf movie file here -->
<embed src = "Chickens.swf"  width="500" height="350"
   hidden=false autostart=true loop=1>
</body>
</html>
"""
 
# write the html file to the working folder
fout = open("EmbeddedFlash.htm", "w")
fout.write(str1)
fout.close()
 
# now open your web browser to run the file
webbrowser.open("EmbeddedFlash.htm")
import webbrowser

# html code to embed a .swf flash file player
str1 = """
<html>
<head>
<title>Embedded SWF Player</title>
</head>
<body onLoad="resizeTo(560, 500);">
<!--  you can put your own .swf movie file here -->
<embed src = "Chickens.swf"  width="500" height="350"
   hidden=false autostart=true loop=1>
</body>
</html>
"""

# write the html file to the working folder
fout = open("EmbeddedFlash.htm", "w")
fout.write(str1)
fout.close()

# now open your web browser to run the file
webbrowser.open("EmbeddedFlash.htm")

The sample Chicken.swf file is in the attached zip.

Re: write a flash player by python

Actually the Python25 version of wxPython has a flash player component. Here is the demo they give:

Python Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
import  os
import  wx
 
if wx.Platform == '__WXMSW__':
    from wx.lib.flashwin import FlashWindow
 
from Main import opj
 
#----------------------------------------------------------------------
 
class TestPanel(wx.Panel):
    def __init__(self, parent, log):
        wx.Panel.__init__(self, parent, -1)
        self.pdf = None
 
        sizer = wx.BoxSizer(wx.VERTICAL)
        btnSizer = wx.BoxSizer(wx.HORIZONTAL)
 
        self.flash = FlashWindow(self, style=wx.SUNKEN_BORDER)
        self.flash.LoadMovie(0, 'file://' + os.path.abspath('data/Asteroid_blaster.swf'))
 
        sizer.Add(self.flash, proportion=1, flag=wx.EXPAND)
 
        btn = wx.Button(self, wx.NewId(), "Open Flash File")
        self.Bind(wx.EVT_BUTTON, self.OnOpenFileButton, btn)
        btnSizer.Add(btn, proportion=1, flag=wx.EXPAND|wx.ALL, border=5)
 
        btn = wx.Button(self, wx.NewId(), "Open Flash URL")
        self.Bind(wx.EVT_BUTTON, self.OnOpenURLButton, btn)
        btnSizer.Add(btn, proportion=1, flag=wx.EXPAND|wx.ALL, border=5)
 
        btnSizer.Add((50,-1), proportion=2, flag=wx.EXPAND)
        sizer.Add(btnSizer, proportion=0, flag=wx.EXPAND)
 
        self.SetSizer(sizer)
        self.SetAutoLayout(True)
 
 
 
    def OnOpenFileButton(self, event):
        dlg = wx.FileDialog(self, wildcard="*.swf")
 
        if dlg.ShowModal() == wx.ID_OK:
            wx.BeginBusyCursor()
            self.flash.LoadMovie(0, 'file://' + dlg.GetPath())
            wx.EndBusyCursor()
 
        dlg.Destroy()

        dlg = wx.TextEntryDialog(self, "Enter a URL of a .swf file", "Enter URL")

            wx.BeginBusyCursor()
            # setting the movie property works too
            self.flash.movie = dlg.GetValue() 
            wx.EndBusyCursor()
 
        dlg.Destroy()

Re: write a flash player by python

I think wxPython demos were written by my C++ professor or his father. He always uses the C++ trick of putting in obscure header files, to make student's life harder!

I have simplified some code that works without those extra imports at:
