The XO-1 looks very promising as a Flash development target platform. |
|||
| ⚫ | |||
Performance is pretty similar to my rig 5 years ago which was an AMD K6-2 500MHz, 256MB RAM + Win98 with Flashdev. |
|||
We tried Gnash, but |
|||
1) The default installed Gnash has no sound (because Flash uses MP3s for sound and the default shipped Gnash comes compiled with MP3 libraries because of FOSS licensing restrictions) |
|||
2) Gnash renders some AVM1 Actionscript 1.0/2.0 (Flash 8 & belpw) content wrong |
|||
3) Gnash does not emulate the AVM2 (Actionscript Virtual Machine 2) found in Flash 9 and above, thus not making it a good platform for Flash dev, especially FOSS flash dev -- the only *decent* production-level tools for FOSS flash dev requires using Actionscript 3 and only outputs Flash 9 AVM2 content. |
|||
That being said, we installed the Adobe Flash plugin, and it ran pretty good on the XO with OS Build 711. |
|||
And, when we installed Opera 9.52 (desktop version runs w/o a hitch on the XO aside from needing to launch it from the terminal), it ran even better -- Flash performance in Opera is much better than in the XO's default Browser activity. |
|||
Opera therefore, is the ideal browser to do Flash content on for the XO-1. (or perhaps Firefox 3? Still need to test out FF3). |
|||
Anyway, this looks really good for Flash as a dev environment because of Flash's small CPU & memory footprint (don't believe stories of flash bloat -> those are due to abusive developers & content producers who don't optimize. Flash can be really lean & mean!). |
|||
What's needed: |
|||
* A new Activity icon that does not conflict with the XO's Rainbow security |
|||
* An Activity icon to launch the browser with specific local html as the default content as a method for launching flash apps. |
