Description

MooTool's Swiff is a nice example of a self-contained library intended to handle the mechanics of JavaScript-Flash communication. Unfortunately, it is dependent on MooTools and as a result possesses a number of undesirable tendencies. We should build a Fluid component that is similarly responsible for Flash/JavaScript rendering and communication, but provides greater customization and portal-friendliness.

    Here's a very sketchy implementation of a fluid.flashBridge component. It is inspired by Swiff, but contains none of its code.

    This hasn't been tested or even run yet. It's just a sketch that I didn't want to accidentally lose.

    Here's a second version of the sketch with quite a number of unit tests. We're getting somewhere.

    Due to a cross site scripting vulnerability we have removed flash support from the uploader. See FLUID-5354
