Search for pocket spark in google, its distributed freely and stand alone unlike the Macromedia one which seems to intergrate into Pocket IE.

However for me theres no sound?

I think its to do with its design being Flash 3 compatible, well i taught myself a little flash about 3yrs ago and designed a few sites and back then i can tell you i was using Flash 5 ffs, so it might not have sound cos Flash 3 may have not had sound or perhaps used a different format?

Maybe a web developer on this forum will have some intuitive coments to add as i wanna get a resolve on this whole flash player (swf) issue too.

The only one I have found is Bryht Flash 2.0, which unfortunately you have to pay for, and is rather limited and buggy.

Plays most flash files quite well though.

are there any apps that will play animated gif's? the current picture viewer is a bit pants. my mates have sent me some rather amusing gifs that used to play smoothly on my e200 but the framerate is alot slower on the m2000. strange considering the cpu speed etc.

Hello,

You can open .gif files with Internet Explorer. Using something like Resco Explorer you can right click (tap & hold) and select the 'Open with' and then Internet Explorer. Seems to work ok.

Regarding Bryght Flash - it's only limited in that you can play fullscreen for only 1 minute. It plays unlimited in normal view. BTW you'll need to download the Macromedia Flash player to get it to run. There's a link on the Bryght website.

This is actually fairly easy. All you have to do is download the flashplayer for smartphones & create a html page with the following code.

<head>

<title>Flash - SWF - Example</title>

<style type="text/css">

</head>

<body>

<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,0,0" width="320" height="240">

<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" />

<param name="movie" value="YOURFLASHFILE.swf" />

<param name="quality" value="high" />

<param name="bgcolor" value="#ffffff" /><param name="SCALE" value="exactfit" />

<embed src="YOURFLASHFILE.swf" width="320" height="240" quality="high" bgcolor="#ffffff" allowScriptAccess="sameDomain" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" scale="exactfit" />

</object>

That sounds like a fantastic idea. Im having troubles getting it to work. I have a .swf file on my pc. How do i call that file from my harddrive and link it to the html page?

You have put "YOURFLASHFILE.swf" i assume i substitute this with the file name, but this doesnt work.

Can you go into a little more detail on this? Am i just being stupid?

Thanks in advance

Sorry I took so long to reply. I forgot about the thread!

I'm not sure how you'd link the htm file to the swf on your pc. I've got Both the Htm file & swf on the SD card (in the same directory). You also need to have flash for pocketpc's installed on your device.

http://www.macromedia.com/software/flashpl...ketpc/2002.html

Try this code in your htm, instead: (not sure if it's any different)

(just replace tenacious_d with your filename).

<HTML>

<HEAD>

</HEAD>

<body>

<!--url's used in the movie-->

<!--text used in the movie-->

<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,0,0" width="320" height="180">

<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" />

<param name="movie" value="Tenacious_D.swf" />

<param name="quality" value="high" />

<param name="bgcolor" value="#ffffff" /><param name="SCALE" value="exactfit" />

<embed src="Tenacious_D.swf" width="320" height="240" quality="high" bgcolor="#ffffff" allowScriptAccess="sameDomain" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" scale="exactfit" />

Hope that works for you. :D
