Flash redirection with browser calls caching

1. A method comprising:

at a client, loading a flash player;

by the flash player, requesting a flash redirection browser at the client to execute an NPAPI NPN browser call (browser call) comprising a string;

by the flash redirection browser, determining whether a cache at the client includes the string;

if the cache includes the string, by the flash redirection browser:

determining an identifier associated with the string in the cache; and

returning the identifier to the flash player; and

if the cache does not include the string, by the flash redirection browser:

passing the browser call to a flash redirection plugin at a server;

receiving from the flash redirection plugin an identifier resulting from executing the browser call;

storing the identifier and the string in the cache; and

providing the result to the flash player.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the server comprises a browser, and wherein the browser is operable to:

load a webpage comprising flash content;

load the flash redirection plugin;

receive from the plugin the browser call;

execute the browser call; and

provide the result of executing the browser call to the plugin.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the flash content comprises a plurality of flash content items of the webpage.

4. The method of claim 2 , wherein the flash content interacts with the browser call.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the server is remote from the client.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the flash redirection plugin is operable with multiple browsers.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the flash redirection browser is operable with multiple platforms.

8. One or more computer-readable non-transitory storage media embodying logic that is operable when executed to:

at a client, loading a flash player;

by the flash player, requesting a flash redirection browser at the client to execute an NPAPI NPN browser call (browser call) comprising a string;

by the flash redirection browser, determining whether a cache at the client includes the string;

if the cache includes the string, by the flash redirection browser:

determining an identifier associated with the string in the cache; and

returning the identifier to the flash player;

if the cache does not include the string, by the flash redirection browser:

passing the browser call to a flash redirection plugin at a server;

receiving from the flash redirection plugin an identifier resulting from executing the browser call;

storing the identifier and the string in the cache; and

providing the result to the flash player.

9. The media of claim 8 , further comprising:

if the cache does not include the string, by the flash redirection browser:

passing the browser call to a flash redirection plugin at a server;

receiving from the flash redirection plugin an identifier resulting from executing the browser call;

storing the identifier and the string in the cache; and

providing the result to the flash player.

10. The media of claim 9 , wherein the server comprises a browser, and wherein the browser is operable to:

load a webpage comprising flash content;

load the flash redirection plugin;

receive from the plugin the browser call;

execute the browser call; and

provide the result of executing the browser call to the plugin.

11. The media of claim 10 , wherein the flash content comprises a plurality of flash content items of the webpage.

12. The media of claim 10 , wherein the flash content interacts with the browser call.

13. The media of claim 9 , wherein the server is remote from the client.

14. The media of claim 9 , wherein the flash redirection plugin is operable with multiple browsers.

15. The media of claim 9 , wherein the flash redirection browser is operable with multiple platforms.

16. A system comprising:

one or more processors; and

a memory coupled to the processors comprising instructions executable by the processors, the processors being operable when executing the instructions to:

at a client, loading a flash player;

by the flash player, requesting a flash redirection browser at the client to execute an NPAPI NPN browser call (browser call) comprising a string;

by the flash redirection browser, determining whether a cache at the client includes the string;

if the cache includes the string, by the flash redirection browser:

determining an identifier associated with the string in the cache; and

returning the identifier to the flash player; and

if the cache does not include the string, by the flash redirection browser:

passing the browser call to a flash redirection plugin at a server;

receiving from the flash redirection plugin an identifier resulting from executing the browser call;

storing the identifier and the string in the cache; and

providing the result to the flash player.

17. The system of claim 16 , wherein the server comprises a browser, and wherein the browser is operable to:

load a webpage comprising flash content;

load the flash redirection plugin;

receive from the plugin the browser call;

execute the browser call; and

provide the result of executing the browser call to the plugin.

18. The system of claim 17 , wherein the flash content comprises a plurality of flash content items of the webpage.
