Embedding Flash Player in an application in C ++ or Java?

Question

I would like to embed Flash Player directly in a C ++ or Java application.

I found an article that describes how to do this for C #: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flash/articles/stock_history03.html

Unfortunately, I have no experience with C #, COM or ActiveX. I need someone to translate this code into C ++, which allows me to embed Flash Player in a Win32 window. Ultimately, I would like to use this information to embed Flash in a Java application.

I am looking for three main functions:

• Ability to play Flash movie
• Ability to receive events (e.g. mouse clicks)
• Ability to send events

Edit: I prefer an open source solution if possible.

I do not know how to embed flash in C ++, but Christopher Deckers ( SWTSwing fame) has developed an interesting hack that allows you to embed it in Java. You can find more information in the Javalobby ad stream .

I personally have not tried this, but I will say that in the case of SWT / Java, you could insert the SWT browser window into your SWT / Java application, and in the browser view you could place content with flash content, and then communicate with Merapi Bridge with using flash movie and java.
