It’s no secret Apple doesn’t like Flash despite the fact it exists in just about every corner of the Internet. But Apple fans made it abundantly clear that they wanted access to Flash on their Macs. Companies like Eltima Software, introduced their products to run Flash movies on Macs and received a very warm response from the users.

Eltima’s “Flash'In'App”, based on Cocoa Framework, lets you create applications that manage Flash movies within Mac applications. The Cocoa Framework is Apple’s native set of object-oriented frameworks that provide a runtime environment for applications running in Mac OS X.

You can Play, Stop, Rewind and Forward SWF files right within your application. Applications can also communicate with SWF file via External API, FSCommands and Variables.

• "Playback any Flash movie, RealMedia and Silverlight file inside of your application (a banner, a tutorial, anything)
• Completely re-design your application using the latest possibilities of Flash, make it stand out and match your exquisite design & user-interactivity requirements without the need to develop custom controls, etc

• Easily support various media types in your applications

The application has a very user friendly user interface that allows you to easily control the look and feel of your application. A set of classes gives you the ability to manage Flash movies without ever having to write custom code to do it. Not only will this make your Mac users happy, it saves you a lot of development time.
