Abstract
Exemplary apparatus, method, and system embodiments provide for accelerated hardware processing of an action script for a graphical image for visual display. An exemplary apparatus comprises: a first memory to store corresponding data; a first processor to separate the action script from other data; and a second processor to convert a plurality of descriptive elements of the action script into a plurality of operational codes, and to perform an operation corresponding to an operational code of the plurality of operational codes using the corresponding data to generate pixel data for the graphical image. In exemplary embodiments the second processor further is to parse the action script into the plurality of descriptive elements and the corresponding data, and to extract data from the action script and to store the extracted data in the first memory as a plurality of control words having the corresponding data in predetermined fields.
