hi i was wondering if there is a way to import a swf game into unity so that the mouse click and left right and down buttons on a keyboard works? the game its self is completed and i dont really wont to recode the game into a unity project, i’d rather code the unity scene so that it displays the swf game from adobe

any comments are welcome thx

edit- also im trying to use unity as a hud for the swf file while having the mouse clicks and arrow keys usable for the swf game/file

Yes you can use SWF file in unity with the help of a plugin :- https://www.assetstore.unity3d.com/en/#!/content/13593 It will help you to make the swf silmply run in unity My mates used this in some of theirs projects to show Splash screen animation. But with different requirements you can use with your own style.

Actually it seems like there’s a plugin to do that : Unity Asset Store - The Best Assets for Game Making
uniSWF - Home
but unfortunately it costs 95$…

Another solution would be to use unity’s browser communication system to exchange data and information between your unity webplayer and flash player on the same page as explained here http://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/UnityWebPlayerandbrowsercommunication.html

Then if you only need to import animations in unity you could use this free asset : Unity Asset Store - The Best Assets for Game Making

Here are some other useful links

Hope this helps

thx also for the reply i now realize that i could have been a bit more specific so... i need unity to run a swf game that needs the mouse to be usable as well as the arrow keys so in a way i need unity to run as a display or 'hud' while having the swf file set as the full 2D scene thx for the reply

Nice! thank you so much!

I'm having a problem, though, and I'm pretty sure it's a problem with the website's HTML. the donation value (which it's nicely finding) it always returning 0. I think the site is written to show 0 and increase gradually to the real value (as an animation of sorts). Do you know what I could do about that? maybe to wait a few seconds and Then look for the string?
