Flash Support?

Todd Schroedel Nov 4, 2011 5:34 AM

Previous versions of Pocket browser supported Flash. I have flash installed on my winMo 6.5 device, and it displays correctly in Pocket IE, but it does not in Rho.

Do I have to add a DLL to the Plugins.xml inorder for this to work? This same application worked fine in Symbol Pocket Browser.

Thanks!

Was this an ActiveX plugin for PocketIE?

    That would be useful, thank you.

Hi,

There are no plans at all to support Flash in RhoElements, like other companies we have taken this decision as better alternatives exist in HTML5.

  Two things.....
  
  I have a current Flash app that I have been running in the Symbol Pocket Browser that communicates from Flash to the MicroPrint driver, via javascript. Moto advertises that RhoElements is completely backward compatible with the Pocket Browser.....the genesis for this question.
  
  Second, I posted this request, prior to the announcement that Adobe is no longer going to develop a flash engine for mobile browsers. THIS DOES NOT MEAN Flash is dead! The number one game WORLD WIDE on both IOS and Android was developed in ...drum roll please....Flash. Angry Birds was developed in Flash and run through a converter for IOS and Java. Can Browsers in the future run Flash on Mobile Devices.....drum roll please....yes they can. By implementing the Adobe AIR component in your native app, you can display flash content and run flash applications.

    Todd, there is NO reason to be angry. I know that this was not the exact answer to your question,
    but I found it useful to share this information with you - as you are a Mobile Flash developer.
    No more, no less.

      What would be the logical perception of your post, if you were a "Mobile Flash developer?"
