I would ask that you please do not put applications up on the Market that rely on Flash, as they will be very tied to specific devices that may happen to have it. Even if at some point Flash is more generally supported on the platform, it may well be an optional plug-in for users to download, so you would want to think very seriously about whether you want rely on that with the attendant hassles for the user of having to install Flash to use your app. And of course the minimum platform version your app would be compatible with is whichever one this feature appears on -- for example, however you get it to work with the HTC Hero will probably not match a standard platform facility, since this is a non-standard platform feature owned by HTC. Of course for futzing around with your own private app, have at it and do what you want. But for things that are intended to go on market, please keep this in mind. -- Dianne Hackborn Android framework engineer [email protected] Note: please don't send private questions to me, as I don't have time to provide private support, and so won't reply to such e-mails.
