i hope the svg implementation into mozilla finishes soon. i'd like to use them on my homepage 
an alternative tool to macromedia flash could become gplflash. it does compile on amd64 but when i start firefox (64b) i get
| Quote: | LoadPlugin: failed to initialize shared library /opt/netscape/plugins/npflash.so [/opt/netscape/plugins/npflash.so: undefined symbol: __dso_handle]
|
as result firefox doesn't even support gplflash althought it's 64b too

the source code sdk seems to be an ideal base to port the flash player to amd64. maybe someone looks at this.
http://www.macromedia.com/software/devices/licensing/sourcecode/

To get the source, you'll have to pay royalties. We're talking big bucks, so I wouldn't hold my breath to see an official player for Linux/ AMD64 anytime soon... No open source/ freeware developer had been granted access to the source so far.
But, according to some dubious sources the Flash 6 SDK, containing the complete source of the Flash 6 Mozilla plugin for Linux, leaked and should be available on the net somewhere... - anyone knows more about this? I just checked for two hours, but I can't confirm this so far.  |

Notice that as far as solely player functionality is considered, you can use the stand-alone "gflashplayer", a 32-bit exec distributed by Macromedia with version 6. Then put these 2 lines in mozpluggerrc:
| Code: | application/x-shockwave-flash: swf: SWF file
repeat noisy swallow(Gflashplayer) fill: gflashplayer "$file"
|
and you should be done. The big drawback of this solution is that all interactivity will be lost: flashs are usually programmed to invoke relative action URLs, but since mozplugger will be given (by mozilla) a cached version of the document, the URLs will become senseless. What can be done is to intercept all exec*() calls of gflashplayer, extract the URL, look it up in the Mozilla's cache, replace the URL with the original one, and invoke an appropriate "mozilla -remote" command. Anyone with free time to take care of this project? |

oh, i read that sdk licenses depend on the number of devices which are shipped with flash player. so i thought there aren't license fees if the player isn't shipped with hardware. 
however, my opinion is that development on gplflash should be forced. at least the bug which prevents 64b gplflash from working with 64b mozilla should be worked on.

I just checked the CVS of swfdec, it seems to improve _very_ fast. The current 0.2.2 release is completely outdated, the CVS version seems to feature support for ActionScript, a plugin and other stuff. But I can't compile it, since it depends on liboil 0.1, and this one seems to have some problems on 64bit CPU's. Maybe, if someone wants to look into this one, the CVS on sf.net is outdated and abandoned - get this one instead:
cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@home.schleef.org:/home/cvs/swfdec login
<no password required>
cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@home.schleef.org:/home/cvs/swfdec co swfdec
Liboil is available at:
http://people.fishpool.fi/~setok/sleberEid/liboil/ |

that's right. oil seems to do some dirty casts. maybe i can clean this out.
EDIT: didn't find such casts. did you delete all object .o files in *all* directiories? it seems to compile fine here.

! UPDATED !
You are right, indeed. I tried the (outdated) CVS version, that one used strange casts... But this doesn't seem to be liboil!? Then I guess this is it:
http://www.schleef.org/liboil/
And that one bails out:
tablelookup_ref.c: In function `tablelookup_u8_ref':
tablelookup_ref.c:32: warning: cast from pointer to integer of different size
make[3]: *** [liboiltmp_la-tablelookup_ref.lo] Fehler 1 |

i'm confused now. i managed to compile the 0.1.1 tarball from http://people.fishpool.fi/~setok/sleberEid/liboil/ the shipped demos did work too. is http://www.schleef.org/liboil/ a different project? which package and version does cause your errors?

Well, that's an interesting question...
The recent swfdec depends on _liboil_, but the oil 0.1.1 from people.fishpool.fi seems to create no liboil.so (only oilsh). The one from schleef.org does compile to liboil.so, so I think this is the right one - but this one doesn't compile, giving the error I posted!
I don't really know if those projects are connected somehow, both seem to be intended for multimedia apps... |

i already coded c but i don't know what that does mean.
| Code: | | *dest = OIL_GET(table,tablestride*(int)src, uint8_t); |
i'll try to describe what i see:
target_content_of_dest = macro_behind_OIL_GET(table,????what????, uint8_t);
what does that tablestride*(int)src mean? usually casts do (int) expression;
tablestride is declared as int.
EDIT: another question: what is uint8_t? never heard.

i beleive how many bits the uint8_t has doesn't matter. it's a pointer so it would have 32 bit on a 32 bit architecture and 64 bit on a 64 bit cpu.
int on 32 bit cpu also has 32 bits too. on a 64 bit cpu int is still 32 bit too but casting to a pointer would fail since the compiler doesn't like casting 32->64. don't know where's the problem, but it seems that int should be changed to something like int64_t.

that's interesting: http://www.treblig.org/articles/64bits.html
it seems a datatype called void* (althought i always thought void means 'nothing') is compatible to cast between int and pointers on all platforms.

 that's not really an error, isn't?
i don't want to comment these unused functions out!

i'm very new to gcc but i found out when i remove -Wall from the cflags the warnings are not interpreted as errors.
liboil compiles now!
in tablelookup_ref.c just replace
| Code: | | *dest = OIL_GET(table,tablestride*(int)src, uint8_t); |
with
| Code: | | *dest = OIL_GET(table,tablestride*(int64_t)src, uint8_t); |
it's a dirty solution since i don't think it would work on a regular 32 bit architecture.
i'm going over to swfdec now.

Any luck yet?

Not yet, I think. Currently, swfdec just seems to display nothing or crash when trying to play a SWF...
But I still think swfdec is the the most advanced open Flash player right now, even if it will need a lot more time and manpower to be a true alternative to Macromedia Flash. Anyway, it should be well worth it, for the sake of independence (all the poor Linux/ AMD64, PPC, PPC64, Power, MIPS, Sparc users are pretty f*cked by Macromedia's policy right now). |

you can delete the null plugin from the plugin directory. i beleive it's called npnull.so or something like that. i don't have this file any more

Take a look at their webpage. They have somewhat recent release--the first in almost 4 years, as they say. It is supposed to support newer versions of FLASH.[/url]
Unfortunately, this whole thread indicates to me that 32-bit Linux is still the way to go on 64-bit x86 systems.
