Pixi-SWF

The plugin for pixi.js is derivative of Mozilla Shumway, licensed under the Apache 2.0 License.

Goals:

1. Help developers migrate their old ActionScript projects to PixiJS and TypeScript
2. Integration with tools that export SWF format: vector graphics and UI for PixiJS applications

Thank You, Mozilla and Macromedia!

Both the original SWF player and Shumway project were written by genius, hard-working people. We really appreciate your work and we believe that the SWF format will have bright future in open-source.

State of the project

Work is in progress. There are heavy changes in architecture.

1. AVM is removed. Old AS2-based animations are not supported at all.
2. Classes structure and reflection is under heavy refactoring.
3. IFrames were removed.
4. Vector graphics do not have transparent seams anymore.
5. Filters/cacheAsBitmap are truly cached, creating a significant performance boost.

Milestones:

1. Move renderer to PixiJS, and use both 2d and webgl contexts.
2. Make adapters between SWF display tree and PixiJS tree.
3. Add online fiddle collection.
4. Add tests.
