[MobileSafari] Plugins

**nnny** · 08-25-2007 10:32 PM

Is there anyway to port plugins from Safari on a computer to the iPhone?

Because I noticed that there is a internet plugins folder that includes a Quicktime plugin

Maybe someone could port flash?

The problem there is that the plugin needs to be written for the same architecture as the browser. As the iPhone uses an Arm processor instead of an x86 or PPC, we would need to go back to the source for GPLflash or some other open source project and port it over.

The idea that there is a Plugins folder makes the odds that Adobe/Apple will release an iPhone version of Flash and other plugins in time.

How do you install gnash using a mac?
Are there any simple step by step directions?

do you have a link to this toolchain your talking about?

Toolchain is the support framework developed by the dev team for compiling apps to run on the iphone... if you dont even know what that is i am skeptical whether you will be able to port and compile gnash, and after that find a way for mobilesafari to recognize it and actually run flash files with it...

anyways, you can google for gnash, and the toolchain is on the wiki.
