Currentlt have flash player 7 on my SPV M3100, is their a version 8 which would work with online sites such as youtube?
Flash Lite 3
I believe you will need the recently announced Adobe Flash Lite 3. Go to their site and they have a nice comparison between the different Flash versions. Flash Lite 3 has not yet been extracted by anyone here that I am aware of. Alternately, you could search this site and you will find solutions to viewing YouTube videos. Just use the search function. I believe it is TCMP with a Flash Video bundle. That should get you started.
Hi all,
Are there some people there who made Flash work on their HD ?
Which one shall we use ? Flash Lite 3.1 ? Which cab for that ?
Thank you for charing your experience !
Regards.

Hi, I too have the same question.
I am yet to succeed in going to a web page containing some sort of flash animation and actually see it.
All I'm seeing is a message to say I need a flash player installed. I've installed the current downloadable full version from Adobe and a variety of cabs for Flash Lite, but non of them seem to work with Opera on the HD.
Any help would be much appreciated chaps.
cheers, Jimmy
I have it working, i updated my opera to 9.5 build 2745 (by simply copying new two files to windows folder, and then installed flashlite 3.1. All of these files are available somewhere in this forum.
anyone know where to get these files?

Jimmy, what happens when you try to load the YouTube app?
Petrov.
Most modern websites that feature Flash content are made for Flash 8 or Flash 9, which is the desktop variant. Flash Lite is a simple package of the same software and thus Flash 9 sites will NOT run natively on your mobile phone, so your only option for that is Skyfire. This will not change anytime soon.
YouTube is optimized for Flash Lite and thus you can see the lovely FLV players on your mobile phone after installing 3.0 or higher.
3.0 copies some of the features of desktop Flash 7/8, including FLV playback, but this does NOT mean you can view entire Flash 7/8 sites, let alone Flash 9.

Sorry for being dense. Will certain flash sites, such as youtube, work through Opera on the HD once the FlashLite 3.1 is installed?
If so, any chance you could point me to where one can download FlashLite 3.1 (I've looked but I must be missing something)?
Many thanks,
Petrov.

Hi Petrov,
youtube works fine from what i can tell,as in it plays videos.
One example of a website where flash doesnt work is the htc.con page where the ring tones are.The place next to the download button has the words "Install Flash".
Looking at the other posts on this thread i'm not sure if it should work at all, Jimmy
Hey guys-
I've been searching this morning and can not find adobe flash player.
When I try and download and install from Adobe's site via Opera it's says it's not a valib Pocket PC app.
Is there a cab? or does the flash player not work with opera??
thanks
The official version of flash released by adobe is not a plugin so it will not work for Opera like the older versions did. Adobes release is a stand alone flash player for other things. I read people are using it with fewidgets and other things like that. The original flash plugin is hard to find because adobe had asked people to remove it. Google it and I'm sure you can still find it somewhere.
Does anyone know the differences to these confusing apps?
There has been a release of Flash Player 7 and the Flash Lite 3.1 for X1, and there is also another Flash Lite 3.1 for all PPC's.
What is the freaking difference?
For all I know, the Flash Lite 3.1 distributable player is the latest from Adobe. Flash 7 player for pocket PC was quite old. The distributable player allows over-the-air installation, at least for a few selected countries (like US, UK) initially. It currently support S60 and WM 6.1 platform. You can also download the player from:
http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/distributableplayer/
Note that this player is for playback of standalone Flash application (packaged as cab for WM and sis for S60). That is not to be confused with the Flash player that comes with Pocket IE 6 in WM 6.5 which allows viewing of Flash-based web page.
I have tested it against WM6.5 and it seemed to work fine.
Please note that the first flash lite 3 released here was not the final and was very buggy. The latest one works perfectly.
Flash lite 2.1 and Flash 7 = Flash 7 with 2.0 actionscript code.
Flash lite 3.1 = Flash 8 with 2.0 actionscript code (that includes flv support).
The main differences between lite 2.1 and 7 are a few cellphone related fscommand codes (like battery status, network status, make call, send sms, etc).
But lite 2.1 has its own player, something that flash 7 never had and lite 3.1 has "hidden". You need to customize your explorer to always open (offline) swf files with the exe available in the adobe flash directory.
PS: Both Flash lites are a little faster that flash 7, but also easier to come up with memory errors for my taste.
Also, what I meant by Flash Lite for X1, is actually Flash Lite for Opera
Someone from Adobe forums told me this:
Flash Lite is a runtime for mobile phones, that has a smaller subset of features than the Flash Player.
Probably you see Flash Player 7 for Opera because it was a version created specifically for that browser.
Flash Lite doesn't support every single Flash App that's on the Web, because as I said before it has a smaller subset of features than Flash Player.

Is this guy wrong?
Here is the link:

Also, I have installed 3 different adobe flashes on my Xperia, and I do not want to have all three.
I have these:
Adobe Flashlite (I got this from Adobe Website)
Adobe Flash Lite for Opera (I got this from XDA forum)
Macromedia Flash Player ActiveX (aka Flash Player 6)
Which one's do I need to keep? Does anyone remember where the Flash Lite for Opera.cab came from?
Which Flash applications should I keep?
(Your informations are really helpful, and thanks...I hope to hear from more people and more answers)
The newest flash 3.1 does not work at all, it doesn't enable the youtube video player to work.
The old flash 3.1 only works with opera.
The flash player 7 is exactly like the old flash 3.1.
I tested all three using opera and internet explorer.
I tested:
youtube.com
ytmnd.com
newgrounds.com
For youtube, I had to click on "desktop" view in order to make the real youtube player visible. Anyways, no one has provided an answer that seems to make sense...
I am still confused.
Anybody can point a download link for the 'Fliash Lite 3.1 for x1'?
I want to try it but seems can not search out the download link.
Thanks.
you can't run flash files which is on your mobile phone by flash lite but flash player
