From CasparCG Wiki

Dynamic media is played by the CasparCG Server’s Flash Producer, so everything that the Adobe FlashPlayer can handle can be played. This includes Flash animations SWF and Flash video FLV as well as audio, all via the FT file (which is just a SWF that has gone through some automated checks.)

Since you have full control over everything in Flash, you can dynamically change texts and control individual animations, and all ActionScript execution works (unlike when you import SWF:s into other tools such as Adobe After Effects.)

Many existing SWF:s are built on the assumption that they will be stored on a web server and embedded in a web page. If the SWF requires any sort of interaction such as mouse clicks, it won’t be very suited for CasparCG playback. However, all features of the Flash Player (such as ActionScripted downloading of RSS feeds, for example) is fully functional when played by CasparCG.
