Q. Is there an Adobe Flash Flash player for Windows CE?

Yes. See following posts.



(Here's the original post from 2004....)

To the best of my knowledge, there is still not a reasonable Macromedia Flash Player release for CE. The one that is out there appears to require the gaming API (GAPI.DLL), which is currently only available in PocketPC CE releases.

I saw that the guys at pc-counselor.8m.com created a hack that got it working on the Journada 720. Here are some of the links I found about this issue a while ago, but I'm sure if the hacks still work under CE .NET:In volume applications, Macromedia would likely be interested in talking terms, but I don't believe there's anything publicly available now.

Drop us a line at this post if you have newer information!


Edited by akidder 9-Oct-2007: Adobe acquired Macromedia at the end of 2005. Updated Macromedia Flash to Adobe Flash in this post.

True. I talked with a Macromedia sales rep a few months ago and it seems that the lower bound for getting Flash licensing for a CE device is around $100,000.

Macromedia is now sublicensing under much more favorable terms via Vibren technologies.

Updated links

The Macromedia license is now being offered by NEC as part of its acquisition from Vibren. Minimum license is 1000 pieces.

Consider Silverlight

There is a now a native Microsoft solution, - Silverlight.

Silverlight is a plug-in to Visual Studio, has the features of Flash, a Developer Interface that is a slavish copy of Macromedia, and (this is important) a rich interface to the back-end programming environment (C#, SQL, Python, whatever). Siverlight is included in the CE License.

Silverlight is cross-platform (supported on Linux and other servers) and its plug-in will run on Mozilla, Firefox, Safari etc. Silverlight will save one-time 3rd party charges and per-unit charges, and there is no minimum.

Silverlight is for CE 6.0 and up, and at this time is in Advanced Beta with Visual Studio Orcas Beta. Here is a demo
