N900 Flash Plugin

[Nod51]

Hasn't anybody tried gnash, swfdec or lightspark?

gnash is already included with the community codec package, I'll venture that swfdec support is on par with gnash (since it got abandoned) and lightspark requires a graphic card with glsl shaders and OpenGL (not ES) support.

Lightsparks looks promising though, I've always wondered why flash never got any type of hardware acceleration, considering animations and graphics are just vectors, gradients and a couple more of effects that a PS2.0 card should do with ease.

And please no apple/html5 zealots here. Html5 will take years before it actually becomes somewhat well supported and established instead of a mess of evangelists and changing specs. Until then, I'll be expectant of this thread.

Searching for forum for 'smokescreen' (http://smokescreen.us/) didn't show any testing results. Since it is JavaScript I assume it is more of a performance issue than an 'if it will run' issue. Still, I would like to know if someone with a Pandora could test it.

Any progress?

swfdec is included on the pandora but I cant get it to play flash videos from any sites. youtube just gives a black screen. other sites show a play button (which doesn't seem to do anything) and you can right click and download a swf file which I also cant get swfdec to play. anyone having better luck than me?

stupid flash :angry:

Edit: Can someone download and post the file? I've tried with a nexus one user agent and the android emulator without any success.

The Android plugin is turning in to a nightmare due to the version of the C library it is linked against.

<Apple killed the Flash image>

Pictures are worth a thousand words. I really don't think we'll need flash for long, but I think it would be cool to watch hulu in the mean time. Hopefully Nokia doesn't get too mad.

Hey, I got that shirt from woot.
