swfdec is a decoder/renderer for macromedia flash animations. the decoding and rendering engine is provided in a library that can be used by other applications. an additional library named swfdec-gtk is provided for easy integration of swfdec into gtk applications. this library is what developers most likely want to target their applications at. building this library can be disabled. swfdec is intended to be used as a replacement for the default flash player. while it is not yet a 100% complete replacement, a big focus is on stability and security. so it is deemed to be suitable for use in production applications. the library however is still in heavy development. because of that, the programming interface will change between major versions. no guarantees are made about the api. however, during stable release cycles, the api and abi are guaranteed to stay stable. swfdec contains some applications for testing and debugging the library. these are available in the player/, test/ and tools/ directories. they are not installed. most of them require the swfdec-gtk library. the test/ directory contains subdirectories that run automated tests
