Flash in Browser? Not Supported?

ToxicToastKatz · #1 (**permalink**) 10-22-2009, 07:46 PM

Ok guys, please don't yell at me....I thought that Flash content was supported on the Hero. I actually went to Adobe's website and watched the demo they did with the GSM version. The guy in the video used Yahoo! Movies as his demo screen, which shows the "featured trailer" right on the front page. When I go to that same page, the spot where the "trailer" should be, gives me nothing but a white space with the F! in the middle. I have Javascript enabled. Is there an add-on that needs to be downloaded or a setting I missed? I've gone through the settings a million times. I've tried other sites too to no avail.

Please help

Well the hero supports flash light 3.1 (which is the equivalent of flash 7) and not "full" flash support (flash is up to version 10 now, I think). And some sites require flash 9 or flash 10 and that's why you get the little "f!" Until flash 10.1 from Adobe and the open screen project is released you are out of luck. Adobe is releasing it to oems this year, but you won't see it on devices till late q1 or early q2 at the earliest.

I haven't had a problem with the F! yet, but I am not so patiently waiting as the above poster mentioned, for flash 10!

Hmmmmm.....try going to Yahoo! home page and off to the right, hit the movie link. A trailer should pop up on the top portion of the screen. That's where I get the F! Maybe that is what requires the full Flash 10, but in the demo on the Adobe site, that is the very page he uses as a demo. He double taps on the video and it launches the video in a landscape full screen mode.

See if you can get it to work. Maybe it's just a setting I have messed up...but I checked everything a few times.

I will, what I am thinking is that they were running a different build of something. Was the video you saw of the EU version?

I do believe it was the EU version, but it was an american video and I believe the EU Hero supports the same browser stuff the US version does, no?
