Has anyone tested lightspark , http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lightspark ? They say they have a better flash support than gnash (including ActionSript v3) and provide a gnash fall back for ActionScript v2 flash pages.
Version 0.5.6 is already in wheezy, so I can try a squeeze backport, but I have not used it before and don't know if the needed work is worth, so any experience with this project? I'd prefer not to go to chrome, and a chromium squeeze backport is impossible to be built because of its dependencies. 2012/5/21 Alf Tonny Bätz <[email protected]>: > You right im not a Mathematichs.;) > > I agree with you Petter here, offcours the alternative 2 is best as default. > If people need, they can install flashplayer-nonfree them self.
