Media Action Script Acceleration Apparatus

An apparatus for processing an action script for a graphical image for visual display, the apparatus comprising:

• a first memory circuit to store data;
• a first processor circuit to separate the action script from other data;
• and
• a second processor circuit coupled to the first processor circuit and to the first memory circuit, the second processor circuit to parse the action script, to convert a plurality of descriptions of the action script into a plurality of operational codes, and to perform one or more operations in response to a selected operational code of the plurality of operational codes to generate pixel data for the graphical image.

An apparatus for processing a data file for visual display of a graphical image, the data file comprising interpretable descriptions of the graphical image in a non-pixel-bitmap form, the data file not having been fully compiled to a machine code, the apparatus comprising:

• a first memory storing corresponding data;
• a first processor to separate the data file from other data;
• and
• a second processor coupled to the first processor and to the memory, the second processor to parse and convert the data file to a plurality of hardware-level operational codes and corresponding data, and to perform a plurality of operations in response to at least some hardware-level operational codes of the plurality of hardware-level operational codes to generate pixel data for the graphical image.

An apparatus for processing a data file for visual display of a graphical image, the data file comprising at least one description of the graphical image in a non-pixel-bitmap form, the data file further comprising data which is not fully compiled to executable machine code, the apparatus comprising:

• a first memory circuit storing corresponding data;
• a first processor to separate the data file from other data;
• and
• a second processor coupled to the first processor and to the memory, the second processor to use the corresponding data to perform one or more operations in response to a selected hardware control code of a plurality of hardware control codes to generate pixel data for the graphical image.
