Convert Flash art to OpenGL-ready vector format?

Question

Say I have some 2D artwork in Flash CS4 format .FLAs, and I'd like to put it into an iPhone game that uses OpenGL ES, keeping it in vector format. An OpenGL-ready format could just be a list of vertex positions and colors for a triangle strip.

Is there a converter available that can do that easily?

Answer 1

You could port gameswf to iPhone, it supports most SWF tags, it loads and renders in OpenGL. It's coded in C++ so it's easy to embed it into your iPhone application. Be warned that's it's usable but it has its limits.

Answer 2

I would recommend converting the swfs to .svg format, Either in Illustrator, or with this online tool. I actually used a small java console app to automate this part for what I had to do recently, it worked pretty well.

Once that's done, you can use Qt to do the rendering bit for you as commented on here.

Claus Wahlers's project looks pretty cool, check out: http://wiki.github.com/claus/as3swf/shape-export-to-objective-c

Answer 4

You could use smokescreen to convert the flash to html5, and then use the stock HTML viewer found In interface builder. Just my 2 cents.
