Description
Ruffle is an Adobe Flash Player emulator written in the Rust programming language. Ruffle targets both the desktop and the web using WebAssembly. Leveraging the safety of the modern browser sandbox and the memory safety guarantees of Rust, we can confidently avoid all the security pitfalls that Flash had a reputation for. Ruffle puts Flash back on the web, where it belongs – including iOS and Android.
Designed to be easy to use and install, users or website owners may install the web version of Ruffle and existing flash content will “just work”, with no extra configuration required. Ruffle will detect all existing Flash content on a website and automatically “polyfill” it into a Ruffle player, allowing seamless and transparent upgrading of websites that still rely on Flash content.
Features
Nightly builds of Ruffle are available for desktop and web platforms including the browser extension.
If you have a collection of “real world” SWFs to test against, the scanner may be used to benchmark ruffle’s parsing capabilities. Provided with a folder and an output filename, it will attempt to read all of the flash files and report on the success of such a task.
cargo run --package=ruffle_scanner -- folder/with/swfs/ results.csv
If you have a swf and would like to capture an image of it, you may use the exporter tool. This currently requires hardware acceleration, but can be run headless (with no window).
