JavaScript has become over time, a testing ground for many developers, who have used it to make the script more varied and among those, Tobias Schneider proposes that one wants to emulate the operation of the Flash Player Plugin.
Thanks to Gordon - that the project name - it is possible to SWF movie in an environment based on JavaScript, without the need for any plug-ins or additional software, and in this way you can take advantage of web technologies such as format SVG rendering of vector images or Web Workers to improve the performance and the parsing of SWF files in the background of large dimensions.

The current build of Gordon is able to read and perform the parsing of all SWFs valid, even in compressed ZLIB, but unable to perform thorough manner only the SWF file SWF1 and supports most of the feature. Operation is very simple: just download the latest gordon.js and include in the HTML file where you insert the SWF movie. Next, create an instance of the class Gordon.Movie and passed as the first argument to execute the file you will see the movie.

At the project wiki, hosted by the service GitHub can be found, along with documentation of Gordon, a table by which to test the SWF tag supported by the project and demo some of its operations.
