[Extendflash] C level extensibility on Mac OS X

[Dennis O'Brien]

Hi All,

Has anyone built a shared library for Flash 7 or 8 on or for Mac OS X?
I notice in the instructions for integrating C functions, the
documentation notes the location to place the shared library on Mac OS
X.  And in mm_jsapi.h there is mention of the Mac platform, "Mac with
MSVC++ Win32 portability lib".  Does this mean the development is on
Windows and MSVC++ creates a shared library for Mac OS?  The only thing
I have been able to find from Microsoft is the Microsoft Visual C++ 4.0
Cross-Development Edition for Macintosh, dated 1996.  I doubt this
targets Mac OS X.

If anyone has been able to build a shared library for Mac OS X (or not),
I would appreciate hearing about it.

thanks,
	Dennis


Here's the section from mm_jsapi.h:

// Declare the external entry point and linkage
#ifdef _WIN32
#   ifndef _MAC  
    // Windows
    __declspec( dllexport ) void MM_InitWrapper( MM_Environment *env,
unsigned int envSize );
#   else
    // Mac with MSVC++ Win32 portability lib
    extern void MM_InitWrapper( MM_Environment *env, unsigned int
envSize );
#   endif
#else
    // Codewarrior
#   pragma export on    
    extern void MM_InitWrapper( MM_Environment *env, unsigned int
envSize );
#   pragma export off
#endif


And here is the section from MM help on installing the dll or shared
library:

3. Save the DLL file or library in the appropriate location:

    * Windows 2000 or Windows XP:
      boot drive\Documents and Settings\user\Local Settings\Application
Data\Macromedia\ Flash 8\language\Configuration\External Libraries
    * Macintosh OS X:
      Macintosh HD/Users/userName/Library/Application
Support/Macromedia/Flash 8/language/Configuration/External Libraries
