== Introduction == |
|||
Flash is a popular format for interactive online content, including animation, video, and games. The [[Browse]] activity on the XO can display Flash content embedded in web pages, provided that an appropriate Flash plugin is installed. |
|||
== Official Adobe Flash == |
|||
Adobe makes the official Flash plugin, but OLPC cannot ship it on the XOs because it is legally restricted and doesn't meet the OLPC's standards for [[OLPC_on_open_source_software|open software]]. Instead, the XO ships with '''[[Gnash]]''', an open source Flash plugin that can play some (but not all) Flash content. As shipped on the XO, it cannot play YouTube videos. Skilled users can rebuild it to include that functionality. |
|||
As an individual, you can download and install the [[Adobe Flash]] plugin to view all Flash content. For details, see '''[[Adobe Flash#Installation]]'''. |
