I’ve successfully let OpenFrameworks and swf communicate using TCP socket. So I can use Flash’s 3D engines. I will not use ActionScript, instead, I will use haxe.

I’ve been using haxe for some time, it is a language that originally designed to compile swf file but has been developed to compile many more format, for example C++(and than use it to compile native codes). So I will write the rendering part in haxe, targeting swf and optionally compile it to C++ native binaries if possible.

The 3D engine of choice is Sandy3D. It has been completely ported to haxe and feature complete in haxe’s swf target. In the past week, I’ve been working to modify it to let it run on haxe C++ target. With the helps of Hugh and Niel, project owner of neash and developer of Sandy3D, quite a few demos is complied to C++ and running.

For more info on this progress, see my blog post.

Next step will be try using jiglibhaxe with Sandy3D on haxe C++ target. It is already usable on Flash target. So I can still use haxe Flash target if anything failed.
