Thank you. I also have the HTC Hero (along with my development phone) I bought it for the reason to view Flash.
But I can not get my webview stub code to view flash content as specified in that article I referenced (specifically a .swf file I am trying to open on my sdcard). All I get is a page with random characters displayed. I think I might be missing a flashlite plugin or something?
