SWF

The CasparCG Server's Producers supports and plays all types of SWF files, since it uses Adobe's FlashPlayer for rendering. That includes all types of ActionScript methods and commands.

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.

To prepare a SWF file for playback by the CasparCG Server, it normally goes through an automated process in the FT Generator extension inside Adobe's Flash Professional authoring application, generating an FT file (which is just an SWF file that has gone through some automated checks and been renamed.)
