Embed in Delphi Program

Hello,

I am new to the forum and as English is my native language I am having trouble translating everything. Google Translate is trying it's best but fails on certain part.

It does not like translating the main FlashPascal site at [url]http://flashpascal.execute.re/[/url] because it uses frames and will not convert inside frames bizarrely.

On to more serious matters. I love FlashPascal :D The ability to out Flash SWF files from pure pascal source code is just pure genius.

What I am wanting to do however is have a program that outputs certain SWF files (containing transitions such as tweening text, blurs / fades etc). I am then wanting to merge these SWF files into a full MPG4 movie (I think ffmpeg should do it).

However from what I can gather (and please correct me if I am wrong on this) the source for the main compiler is not available is it ?

If it is a matter of purchasing it for commercial reasons then please let me know how I can go about this (presuming the above I mentioned can be achieved of course).

Regards
Anthoni

PS: I am using Delphi XE5 Enterprise and my program also needs to run on the MacOS system as well.

Hi Anthoni,

I'm glad you like my work.

The SWF with effects you're talking about, are they made with FlashPascal ? In fact, I don't really understand why you need the compiler source code if you just want to use ffmeg to convert the animations to MP4.

Anyway, there's an old version of FlashPascal that is OpenSource on http://flashpascal.sf.net

I do not plan to release FlashPascal2's source code for now, but if you have a lot of money we can talk about that :)

Both code are Delphi 6 compatible, the conversion to XE5 need at least to care about UnicodeString, but as the compiler do not use any external component so it should work under Mac OSX. FlashPascal 2 IDE use SynEdit, I don't know whenever it is Mac OSX nor XE5 compatible.

The SWF files will be made (hopefully) with FlashPascal. Basically the user will enter some information such as new text to display and the type of animation they want. This will then generate the SWF file (using FlashPascal). Several of these will then be merged into one single movie in MP4 format.

I've looked at various ways to accomplish this and this seems to be the best route to be honest.

Hahah, I am guessing "a lot money" is quite a bit then :P

Downloaded the OpenSource version and looked through the code minimally although not compiled it in Delphi yet. Like you say, the biggest problem with the Unicode and I also believe Mac's version of their string as well.

yes, first things to do:
:fleche: replace any String by an AnsiString or RawByteString
:fleche: replace any Char by AnsiChar
:fleche: replace any litteral char like #65 by AnsiChar(65)

BTW: this version of the compiler is protected by GPL, if you plan to use it in a closed source commercial product, you have to request a private licence from me ... less expansive than the FlashPascal2 source code ;)

Cheers for that, will do the replacements before I load it all into Delphi. I use Total Commander so I can just Batch String Find / Replace using that.

1] How do I go about getting a private license? You have an email address I can contact you on ?

2] How much will this cost ?

3] Just out curiosity, how much is FP2 source code please ?
