flash?

[Michaelvg1]

So I notice flash does not work on this phone. Am I missing something? Seems odd that the big "f" appears on Such an advanced phone.

Flash works.

It's Flash Lite, so i'm sure it won't support everything.

And to add to that it only works on the included browser AFAIK.

Ok so what am I doing wrong? A big f appears for flash content and I am using the stock browser

 

[tatonka_Hero]

on all flash pages? or just some? Give us some examples of what sites it doesn't work on, and we can see if it's just your phone

Flash Lite can only handle animations, and simple Action script (formally VB Script (the programming script used in Adobe flash))

Don't expect for games to work. If it is a streaming FLV, or a flash media streamer streaming a native filetype (mp3, mpg, mpg4 etc) then it will open the flash PLAYER (IE: Youtube)

Flash Lite 1.1 supports Flash 4 ActionScript. Flash Lite 2.0, based on Flash Player 7, supports Flash 7's newer ActionScript 2.0. Both versions also support the World Wide Web Consortium's Standard SVG Tiny, a mobile profile of the consortium's Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) recommendation. Unlike SVG, Flash Lite can add audio and interactive elements without the use of other technologies such as JavaScript. As with Flash, Flash Lite is able to read and redraw external XML content. Flash Lite 3 is based on Flash 8, which brings closer the gap between mobile and desktop content by supporting H.264 video standard, as well as On2 VP6 and Sorenson video codecs. It also introduces the support to FLV video content.

I believe WebKit 3.1 is using Flash Lite 3...

The PC version of Adobe Flash is already on v10. So we're two whole versions below...

If Flash Lite supported Flash 10 elements, we could do pretty much anything. You'd be limited by CPU processing power however.

Does having flash lite mean you could stream Sirius Satellite Radio on this phone?

Yeah, I tried to access LiveLeak.com from my Hero, but the videos wouldn't play.

yeh i wish it would support sites like grooveshark and playlist.com but im sure that has more advanced flash content that would prolly put a strain on the good ol qualicomm. oh well cant expect to do everything from a phone.
