Thanks for your help, and to others as well. All clues indicate that
this is reason. At least it is comforting to know that I'm not going
crazy.
I'm trying to integrate Flash (swf) content into a rather large
(full-screen) Carbon application. The Flash content needs to be drawn
as an intermediate layer; some non-Flash buttons must appear on top,
for example. The plan is to draw Flash into a hidden window, then
blit the contents of that window into an offscreen buffer (at which
point I'll have full control of rendering it).
I'm currently using some Cocoa code for networking, so Cocoa is
available for use. At one point I tried using more of the Cocoa side
of WebKit, but I switched to the Carbon side for a particular reason
which I can't remember.
Would you suggest that I give Cocoa another try, or is there possibly
some similar mysterious barrier that I might hit? Or would (the now
deprecated) QuickDraw be easier or more likely to work?
For real-time full-screen Flash movies (say, 20 fps), would David
Duncan's suggesting of using the PDF layer be feasible? (I suppose
I'll run some tests in any case.)
Much appreciated,
Jeff
