For example, if SWF file 1 is looking for SWF File 2 at C:\Users\JohnSmith\Documents\myflash.swf, aside from the fact Ubuntu's file hierarchy is completely different, there's nothing at that address for it to reference. Linked SWF files will also be a problem if they use "absolute" paths. html page that embeds your Flash app, and then adding, to Startup Applications, the line This is exceptionally clunky, but if you must must must create an Ubuntu Flash app, I suggest creating a simple. Second thing to note is that when you install flashplugin-nonfree, the Flash Projector itself is not installed (since there is no version of the Flash Projector for Linux, as far as I can tell.) Instead, a plugin for Firefox is installed. Seriously, Flash on Ubuntu is sucky at the best of times and an absolute disaster at the worst. I am creating an Adobe Flash based application that will run on a CPU board running Ubuntu.įirst thing to note is that if you absolutely must create a Flash application, do so and target it at a Windows system. At this stage I'm at a loss as to why this should be happening.Īssuming that the projector is a no-go, is it possible to create a small program that I can place in the start-up items that has a command to launch SWF 'A'? The SWF's were created on my PC using Adobe Flash CS4 and Action Script 3. The button is still there (with rollover and all) but it's like the on click command or path have been removed. However the new projector no longer links to SWF 'B'. Ubuntu did indeed launch the new projector on start up. I then assumed that the SWF needed to be a projector, so I saved SWF 'A' as a projector from Ubuntu's Flash player, this file was then made a start up program. I have downloaded the latest Flash player from Adobe and my test SWF's play fine (they are just two SWF's with button links to each other) However when I added SWF 'A' to the start up programs Ubuntu ignored it. For this project I need the Flash application to start automatically when the device is booted up. I am creating an Adobe Flash based application that will run on a CPU board running Ubuntu. I'm a first time Ubuntu user (only installed OS a few days ago).īasically I'm using Ubuntu as part of my major project for my MA and 'am beginning to feel out of my depth.
