CrossBridge is an open-source toolset developed by Adobe Systems, that cross-compiles C and C++ code to run in Adobe Flash Player or Adobe AIR. Projects compiled with CrossBridge run up to 10 times faster than ActionScript 3 projects. CrossBridge was also known as 'Alchemy' and the 'Flash Runtime C++ Compiler', or 'FlasCC'.In 2008, CrossBridge was released by Adobe as 'Project Alchemy', on the Adobe Labs website. It enabled compilation of specially modified C++ projects to SWF, using the LLVM and GCC compilers.
