Question

I am developing a flash application in phonegap for android.

I have tried to embed the flash in html but of no luck. Its showing blank and nothing comes up.

I then tried to use childBrowser, the childbrowser opens up but still a blank screen.

Can you please guide me how should I proceed so that i can play swf file. The swf is playing fine in the android browser but it doesn’t play when I open up through childBrowser.

Do you have any idea?

THanks in advance

You may have to enable the Flash Plugin for the WebView that phonegap runs in.

You’ll have to download the PhoneGap source and recompile it using Eclipse or whatever java environment you’d use.

In DroidGap#onCreate add the lines to activate plugins:

   WebSettings settings = appView.getSettings();
   settings.setPluginState(PluginState.ON); // Turn Flash plugin on

Phonegap doesn’t support this officially as Apple does not support Flash. Furthermore it has been announced that Adobe is going for HTML5 in phones and not investing further into Flash on mobile.
