Hello,

am Julia Rixon from Eltima Software. Our company has recently released
just that very software solution you are looking for - Flash'In'App:

http://www.eltima.com/products/cocoa-framework/

Flash'In'App is a free Cocoa framework that lets you load and fully
manage Adobe® Flash movies directly from your own applications for Mac
OS X. Flash'In'App is a set of several specific classes to manage and
fully control all the aspects of Flash manipulations in your application.

Flash'In'App will help you:
- Playback any Flash movie inside of your application (a banner, a
tutorial, anything)

- Completely re-design your application using the latest possibilities
of Flash, make it stand out and match your exquisite design and
user-interactivity requirements without the need to develop custom
controls, etc.

- Develop and deploy eye-catching high quality interactive interfaces
with minimum effort in Flash

- Distribute Flash-enabled desktop widgets, Flash games as compiled
applications

- Create custom-shaped applications (Intel-based Macs only)

- Run your Windows Flash-enabled applications' GUI on Mac

Hope it helps.

Sincerely yours,

Julia Rixon
