so there are any binery files be supported to evaluate ? or just install thru the OS ?
Hi Mark:
The .apk file is for Android OS, and you do not specify the OS that you are using.
Also Adobe provides the Flash 10 Player to the OS companies for them to bundle with the release, or to download and install separately. The VGK Platform is a Flash 10 compatible package that is available for the i.mx51 platform. I can be reached at ChrisBrady@animatedmedia.ca
Christophe Cap said:One of the tasks I mentioned is to finish both OpenVG and OpenGLES2 renderers for Gnash. This work is already in progress. We also have support for hardware video decoding of h.264 that is also being enhanced for the ARM.Sound great !
Another question that pops up : Is Gnash taking advantage of the OpenVG hardware acceleration support provided in the i.MX35 ?

Gnash was originally designed as the UI for a digital stereo system, which also runs 24/7 using the standalone player. Many other companies use Gnash on embedded devices where performance and footprint are important. We've worked hard at eliminating all memory leaks and bloating, tough with the flash format which has too many circular dependencies. Performance wise, we're roughly compatible, and often better than the Adobe player. We have current tasks to do several ARM specific improvements. Now for compatibility, Gnash is avm1/as2 compatible so far, roughly most swf v9 files work. For a UI this is less of a problem than as a browser plugin, because you can tweak your flash code to be fully compatible. Compatibility is important, so Gnash tries to have the same buggy functionally as the Adobe player. :-) Visually you should see no difference. If you want, contact me off list, and I can test your swf file with Gnash, or you can grab a recent package of 0.8.8 from most GNU/Linux distributions to test it yourself.We were also considering Gnash, however we're a bit worried about compatibility and stability.
Our device will be running 24/24 7/7 and must have snappy performance.
What about memory footprint/requirements ?
Besides that, also 'pixel perfect' design is important to us. The gui design is created bij our 'design' department and they tend to be very strict about approving our implentation.
Best regards & thanks for the info !
I've run Gnash on a variety of ARM processors, so I don't see any reason why it wouldn't work on the i.MX356/7 as a UI. I don't know about VGK.Is there Flash UI support available for the i.MX356/7 ?
