If/When flash put on PSP what would you guys do [differently]?

I would port a lightwight version of my flashcom app into it so that I can talk video chat with my friends.

If flash player 8.5 ever comes out, I would have fun building a Skype clone using SIP standards along with some VNC.... ahh the possibilities.

A full-blown player on the PSP would be interesting, but unlikely. I don't think Sony would be happy with anyone being able to make games, no matter how primative, that can be played on the console without them getting a cut.

You sound like you'd be interested in labs.macromedia.com

macromedia should invent a PFP (Portable flash player)

or not

**PAlexC** · 11-21-2005, 01:23 AM

Umm...

**mr_malee** · 11-21-2005, 01:27 AM

thats for phones and you have to use flash 4 syntax.

**PAlexC** · 11-21-2005, 01:31 AM

It's for mobile device in general, and yes, it's very very limited. Mainly because the browsers in phones and PDA's are very very limited.

PSP is a grey area, and would require Sony's input. Don't know if this is still the case, but pre Flash-Lite each device maker was responsible for developing a Flash Player from the SDK that was compatible on the chip used in their device, MM didn't want to get involved in building and managing a player for every possible device.

There's no incentive to do one for the PSP, and I don't think they even could, without Sony's blessing or input.

time to suit up and change their minds.

Lock and load baby.

**PAlexC** · 11-21-2005, 01:34 AM

Ha ha...ok, you go talk to Sony for them, see how that goes.

with the adobe+macromedia thing, it seems to me that flash has a very good chance of becoming the interface medium of choice for a lot more than web-sites, slide-shows, kiosks and cell phones.

i'll probably be programming an interface for a washing machine by next year!

"There is a script in your washing machine that is casuing your washing machine to run slow"

You have the potential to raise havoc across the whole world.

**indivision** · 11-21-2005, 02:32 AM

lol. appliance easter eggs are going to rule.

**mr_malee** · 11-21-2005, 02:39 AM

super duper spin wash. Watch your clothes fly.

**PAlexC** · 11-21-2005, 02:40 AM

It's bad enough I have to put up with that crap at work. If my washer gives me that error I'm likely to take a sledgehammer to it.

Flash UI for appliances: bad idea.

Yeah, I don't want a 30 second intro with crappy techno music, words flying by, and no skip intro button every time I want to use my microwave.

You can make flash games for the pocket pc.
http://www.macromedia.com/software/f...etpc/2002.html

Buy up a bunch of cheap pda's and make new game controler style cases for them.

Could this be marketed legally?

If anyone steals this idea and sells it...
Am i allowed to say that i would stab someone?

Flash for PSP? Convert this into a flash mostly app.

**mr_malee** · 11-21-2005, 10:11 AM

i think it'd be funny. Whenever your doing your business a little voice from inside the bowl shouts "Noooooooooooooo, my home, my beautiful home"
