Flash 9 For Linux

[DBH]

Flash 9 Beta version for Linux is out now.

(Atleast now those people who complained about not being able to view my site can do so now )

This seems more suited for an off-topic discussion. If you meant feasibility of porting it to the GP2X in some way, this new version doesn't really make it any easier as the same obstacles exist.

 

[nickspoon]

Yay.

(Psst... move to offtopic)

Regardless of whether there's a Flash 9 plugin for Linux (and let's be clear here, it's just Linux-i386), entire websites should still NOT be done in Flash. As a way to deliver certain types of online content like videos and games, Flash is great but it sure makes for shitty website interfaces.

EDIT: your site still doesn't work well, text all messed up, cursor wicked slow (good thing you can turn it off)

Woop-de-doo, no more audio/video sync problems!

Your site is fine, it takes a £800, $1200, machine to be able to display it correctly though..

you're just taking them as personal insults, but just take it as constructive criticism

and even with flash 9 we still can't view your site properly...

It's true, using Flash 9 for Linux the text is screwed up.

That seriously sucks then... those bastardos cant even make flash for linux properly. Dissappointing. I'll eventually sort out a pure HTML / CSS one. I almost had a nice flash 7 version sorted but some stupid bug with the navigation f00ked it up when ever I got it to land on a page it would play right through it which was annoying.

Poo.

that sucks, at least you're trying for us linuxers, and yeah, pure html / css would be best especially since there are those out there that just don't install flash whether they're on linux windows or mac

I use FreeBSD as my desktop OS. It's possible to get flash running using ugly linux binary interpretation, but it runs at ~25% of regular speed... and... yeah. All flash sites are pretty much unusable to me.

I guess that's why I've still got a windows box right next to my workstation.

 

[Ravnos]

Flash 7 runs about as well on my FreeBSD laptop as it does on my Linux desktop when I use a Linux browser in BSD. It's quite painful when using the linux pluginwrapper, though, and even getting Flash 7 to work with the pluginwrapper is hit and miss.

 

[PSyMastR]

HOLY CRAP! FLASH 9?!!?!?

Finally.

I can view my flv movies on my site on the go.

 

[DBH]

but flash 7 atleast works relatively smooth on linux no?

 

[Ravnos]

So-so. The sound lags behind the video and it's pretty crashy. Other than that it works ok I guess.

 

[Mudi]

This is just a beta, and it works better than Flash 7 ever did for me. Flash 7 used the deprecated OSS sound system, and so for some sound wouldn't play at all, and for most it lagged a few seconds behind. For me, Firefox just crashed anytime Flash made a sound... don't bother targetting Flash 7 for linux, it isn't worth it.
