|Feature overview=This feature allows plugins to asynchronously draw to surfaces. These surfaces may be located in video memory, and so this allows hardware accelerated plugin drawing.
|Feature users and use cases===== Goals ====
* Make it possible for plugins to draw, explicitly asynchronously, to a bitmap/software surface.
* Make it possible for plugins to draw, explicitly asynchronously, to a hardware accelerated surface - DXGI or DirectX 9Ex.
* Allow Flash to never request windowed plugin mode
|Feature requirements=* Needs testing with a version of Flash that implements the specification.
* Needs a design and implementation security review.

Open issues/risks

`

Stage 1: Definition

1. Feature overview

This feature allows plugins to asynchronously draw to surfaces. These surfaces may be located in video memory, and so this allows hardware accelerated plugin drawing.

2. Users & use cases

Goals

  • Make it possible for plugins to draw, explicitly asynchronously, to a bitmap/software surface.
  • Make it possible for plugins to draw, explicitly asynchronously, to a hardware accelerated surface - DXGI or DirectX 9Ex.
  • Allow Flash to never request windowed plugin mode

3. Dependencies

`

4. Requirements

  • Needs testing with a version of Flash that implements the specification.
  • Needs a design and implementation security review.

Non-goals

  • Non-Windows implementations or specifications for accelerated drawing.

Stage 2: Design

5. Functional specification

6. User experience design

`

Stage 3: Planning

7. Implementation plan

`

8. Reviews

Security review

Privacy review

`

Localization review

`

Accessibility

`

Quality Assurance review

  • Patch still being developed

Operations review

`

Stage 4: Development

9. Implementation

The specification was designed by Bas Schouten and Josh Aas, with input from Robert O'Callahan. The Windows implementation is being done by Bas Schouten.

  • bug 651192 Implement new AsyncDrawing model for plugins

Next Steps

  • Complete the implementation of the specification.
  • Get a build of Flash that implements this specification.
  • Get the specification ratified by the plugin-futures group.

Stage 5: Release

10. Landing criteria
