Flash menu

[JoChn]

Hi! I think about make a flash menu for rockbox. Is it possible? If not tell why?

Whats a flash menu?

If it in any way involves adobe flash, then no, it is not possible.

now hang on... we arnt Apple here... its not like we have anything against flash... if adobe want to port it then by all means

[AlexP]

Would "not (currently, and also very unlikely to be in the future) possible" be better?

And what would be the point of using Adobe Flash for the menu? It's annoying, useless and ressource-hungy like mad.

wow waiting for the menu to load would totally SUCK.

[JoChn]

By the flash menu, I mean e.g.: the animations for choosing elements in the menu, or pulsed line selector menu.
Ok, so the answer is "no"?

Someone might come up with a patch for that. However, I don't think any dev is interested much in something like this (and I even bet that most would rather dislike such a thing). From my point of view it's completely useless and annoying -- the purpose of Rockbox is to play music, not to have annoyingly flashing menus. So while it might happen I wouldn't hold my breath but rather be prepared for such a feature to get rejected.
