Hmm, so what is the method that resolume uses? On the PC applications use the ActiveX version of the flash plugin, that's how the Cortona VRML plugin load flash.
I would certainly like this, as I like more generative image sources, and there would certainly be a lot of tricks you could do.
- use the flashcom server for remote live video
- hook up live string data feeds
I would probably set up some XML socket remote control of the flash, but such an actor would want mouseX, mouseY, and key inputs to it.
Perhaps an arbitrary parameters list as well, with some example flash code on how to pick up / hook to those values.
Of course you could run flash on a second computer and feed the output into a capture device, or on the PC, run it on the same computer on a different screen, and use Camtasia to grab it from your desktop and feed it to the live input of Isadora.
I have used Camtasia to do this, but it's a significant extra processor hit, and the local keyboard and mouse can only go to the active application which can be tricky.
Also since Isadora only has the one live video input, you may need that for a live camera and not be able to use those hacks.
----------------------------------------
and since I like to throw out alternative ideas, which might provide some form of solution to this.
how about:
- a desktop scrape actor.
- or a VNC client actor.
- or a Firefox actor.
- then you could embed flash or any other plugin into a html page and get it into izz
