Just wondering if someone is working on a flash sort of thing for better internet browsers and whatnot on the DS... I thought I heard something about that. Maybe it is beyond the system's capabilities, i dunno. I found this rather interesting though...

Can anyone clear this up for me?

I don't think the DS CPU is powerful enough to run Flash but I may be wrong

Don't forget to look at the release date.. and then see that no one else has attempted it (that I know of).

lol, i see. So i guess this means we won't be playing stuff from addictinggames.com on our DSs anytime soon? (besides clones, that is. =) world of sand...)

Unless someone picks up where Natrium42 left off (which, judging by the comments, could be a real challenge just to recompile it with a newer toolchain), then most likely no.

Then clones it is =)

Flash games can be easily decompiled back to actionscript code, and you can make a Flash-style framework to make movie clip based games work with few changes to the code.

You mean something similar to the way the FF games are played; turn based with cutscenes for moves?

no... A "Movie Clip" is a type of object in flash. It's Flash's way of doing any animated object that can move around the screen.
Flash games involve code that moves Movie Clip objects around, with code either inside or outside movie clip objects.

oh, lol. I get it. I thought you meant an actual "movie clip" as in a small video... now it makes sense. Thanks for clearing that up for me =).

"Movie Clip" is flash jargon. They are much like objects in object oriented programming. Not everything is a movie clip in flash, but most every useful is.

That changed in AS3/Flash9, very few things are now movie clips. Usually you'll use the simpler 'Sprite' object (which should have an obvious name to anyone doing GBA/DS homebrew) </nitpick>

Clearly I'm not as up on my flash as I should be. =P
