This has been covered to death on Carbon-Dev if you wish to pursue it.
I believe your best course of action would be to emulate the
techniques used in WebKit or Firefox; these are open source apps so
you can look through the code freely. This has been tried by a few
people with mostly positive results, but to the best of my knowledge
there is no simple sample code which demonstrates the technique,
unfortunately.
An easier approach is to embed a WebView into your app and then just
display the Flash via a simple local web page. This works pretty well
but can sometimes show minor imperfections.

Hi, All,
I'm pretty new in Cocoa, and my first interest is to develop a small
(I hope!) app, which could communicate with the existing Flash
Player plugin.
I'd like to implement such functions as load SWF file, call some
existing
(and well-documented by Adobe) commands like movie Play/Pause, get
some
information back to my app (like current frame number), etc.
As far as I understand I need to create an application, loading
this plugin
and connecting it with some NSView subclass within my app window.
I've got
some books about plugins, and already have got some basic
understanding
about plugins technology in Mac OS X. But I have some general
questions,
which prevent me from going ahead. I hope there is anybody out
there, who
already did the same job, so my questions could be answered with ease.
1. Is Flash Player plugin a CFPlugin or NSPlugin? How to detect it?
2. If it is CFPlugin, then where could I get its classes and factories
UUIDs?
3. Can CFPlugin be connected somehow with NSView subclass?
How to do it? If it can't then is it possible to create a Cocoa app,
working with Flash Player.plugin?
4. For the NSPlugin I also don't see a good and clear example of
how to
connect the plugin with NSView. All samples in books deal with simple
non-visual plugins. Or have I missed anything?
Appreciate it, if anybody can help. I'd promise to publish my
result with
full source code (because I can't find such code sample upto now),
but I
definitely need some basic support in theory understanding.
Thanks in advance!
-Alex
