I think he means Flash Lite if he's referring to a viewer for the D2.

I doubt there would be flash support for rockbox. Flash is proprietary anyways so we wouldn't be able to distribute it ourselves if it would work with rockbox. Someone can try porting gnash, but it will be hard and gnash is still quite buggy.

O... Sorry... Flash Lite

I think, that RockBox developers can try to ask Adobe for give libraries...
Or can be used free libraries like http://www.swift-tools.net/Flash/...

Sorry fo my errors... I'm from Ukraine and don't know english well...

Anything used by Rockbox would need to have the code released under a GPL compatible licence.  This doesn't include any Adobe flash code.

That site says only up to flash 3, and it hasn't been updated in 10 years.  Currently flash 8 or 9 is required to play virtually all video out there.

If you just want to play FLV files, ffmpeg's codecs can do that, but most player won't have enough CPU power to do so.

Gnash supports Flash 7+ so it will work a bit better. It is also GNU software.

It may have enough resources, but the problem is we can't use flash lite. We would have to use Gnash or some other GPL'd flash clone. Of course you can try to find a clone of the games you want that are GPL and are programmed in C. The game chopper would be an example of this.

It is a "lighter" version of Aodbe flash. It is still not GPL so we can't use it.
