What is the Gordon in JavaScript?

**Zavier** · 26-02-2010

Hi friends,
I have done some coding in Java and PHP programming language. Now I am doing some projects in JavaScript. I have heard that we can use the flash player in JavaScript. The Gordon is the flash player that can be used into JavaScript. But I don't know anything more than this.!! Please tell me what is the Gordon in JavaScript? Also tell me how to use it. Any other information related to the topic would be grateful.!!

JavaScript has been used for a number of unusual projects in the past few years. Tobias Schneider has built a Flash runtime that works right in the browser. The flash player that you use is mostly implemented in pure JavaScript and HTML and this all whole thing is open source. To install it yourself, use "git clone git://github.com/tobeytailor/gordon.git". The main thing that I liked for a JavaScript-based player is that the Flash plugin isn’t available on all platforms.

Gordon is very good flash player for using with the JavaScript. It translates Flash SWF files to Scalable Vector Graphics which are supported on the iPhone. The project runs on most modern browsers with the exception of Internet Explorer. Gordon currently supports the SWF 1.0 format and SWF 2.0 is in development. You can create any open source Flash runtime written in pure JavaScript with SVG.

I have given a sample of coding for the Leopard.html. You can use the similar for creating the flash in JavaScript :

HTML Code:

<html xmlns="http://www.abc.org/2010/xhtml">
  <head>
    <title>Gordon: An open source Flash runtime written in pure JavaScript</title>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="../gordon.js"></script>
  </head>
  <body onload="new Gordon.Movie('leopard.swf', {id: 'stage', width: 700, height: 450})">
    <div id="stage"></div>

  </body>
</html>

The Gordon gets supported by the browser as well as swf tag. The following is a best example that describes the lightening apple, which is good example of the flash :

HTML Code:

<html xmlns="http://www.xyz.org/2010/xhtml"> 
  <head> 
    <title>Gordon: An open source Flash™ runtime written in pure JavaScript</title> 
    <script type="text/javascript" src="gordon.js"></script> 
    <script type="text/javascript" src="src/Movie.js"></script> 
  </head> 
  <body onload="new Gordon.Movie('apple.swf', {id: 'stage', width: 460, height: 580})"> 
    <div id="stage"></div> 
  </body> 
</html>
