Hi Chris, From what I kwow there are quite a few differences between Flash 9 and Flash Lite. A quick Google should fill you in.
You'll definitely need one of the standard Hero roms unless somebody has hacked the Flash files onto a custom rom. If you must have something more recent you might want to track down the Sense 2 rom. I know that runs on Hero. There are videos of it floating about. Or just wait, for 2 months for HTC to drop the official 2.x update. I must say I'm intrigued as to why you want to create such a WebView when only Hero owners will be able to use it at present. Of course once Flash 10.1 turns up for Android everybody should be able to play. Q2 2010?
