VNC client in flash

March 07th, 2007 | Category: flash

By Justin Silverton

FVNC is an open source VNC client for flash.

From the author:

“I’ve updated the code to compile with the release version of Flex 2. Previously, the application was only functional in beta versions and stopped working when Flash Player 9 was officially released. I’ve also started to do some refactoring, but decided it was better to get the code out there as-is than keep it locked up while I tweak it. I’ve been beyond busy lately, and I don’t see myself finishing this round of refactoring any time soon, so better to release now than wait a few weeks…”

How to use/install

Download and run from your browswer.

Important notes:

Because of Flash Player security restrictions in connecting to remote addresses, you have to run the .swf file from your local file system. This means either launching it with the standalone Flash Player, or dropping the .swf file inside IE or FireFox.

More about the client:

The following encodings are implemented: CopyRect and HexTile. The Flash Player itself is fully capable of rendering the screen without slowdown.. any choppiness seems to be due to the amount of data coming over the wire, so switching to a compressed encoding format should improve speed.

This has only been tested using TightVNC server
