== Summary ==
This appears to be landed https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=651192 so I'm updating this feature page. Please revert if I'm wrong - Asa (2012-05-02)
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.

{{FeaturePageBody
|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.
|Feature non-goals=* Non-Windows implementations or specifications for accelerated drawing.
|Feature functional spec=* [[NPAPI:AsyncDrawing]]
|Feature security review=* [https://wiki.mozilla.org/Security/Reviews/Firefox6/ReviewNotes/NPAPIAsyncDrawing Security Discussion/Review]
|Feature qa review=* Patch still being developed
|Feature implementation notes=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.
