Ogre has a great integrated version of GameSWF (http://www.tulrich.com/geekstuff/gameswf.html) available as a module called OgreSWF (http://ogreswf.blogspot.com/ & http://www.ogre3d.org/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=22196).
I was wondering:
[color=brown]A) if something like OgreSWF exists for panda and I overlooked it
(I saw one forum post… that I can’t find again… that had someone mention GameSWF as a possibility for flash GUI but seemed to suggest there wasn’t anywork done on making it work with panda)
or
[color=brown]B) what would it take to create it or what should I do to integrate GameSWF (more on this below)
I know it’s based on openGL and that panda has pandaGL (a modified openGL) or something like that and to me it seems like it might be easy to make the two play nicely together. However I have only a very very basic and rough understanding of C++ so I’m not very well suited to the task. If it turns out that this is a large undertaking I may have to abandon it for my project. Any pointers, clarification, or help would be appriceated.

thanks in advance, Regis
PS. I hope this is the appropriate place for this, I figured that any merge would involve the source of either panda3D or GameSWF (though it’d be great if it didn’t)
