Thank you Mark for the clarification it is greatly appreciated. With so many different sources on the internet it is somewhat difficult to know what is actually available and what isn't.
One more question if you happen to know this. All I am simply trying to do is create a WebView (using android.webkit.Webview) and view a .swf file with it. According to this article it is had been done and is possible: http://www.flashmobileblog.com/2009/08/12/flash-development-with-android-part2/ But again like I stated before, after downloading the latest source code, building it, flashing it to my development phone and flash still not working I am having my doubts (and greatly wondering how this guy said it is working). Do you know if this is even somewhat possible (maybe a FlashLite plugin I am missing or something?). Or am just out of luck on this one.
