Adobe Flash

Is flash possible on alarm? Has anyone tried gnash and the iceweasel browser like people have mentioned on the Pi forums?

For example : http://blog.christosoft.de/2012/08/flas ... pberry-pi/

I would like to try and play facebook games on my pi but the only method seems that you have to use iceweasel and gnash. I see the gnash package supported under armv5 and v7 but no v6. Also I do not see the iceweasel browser. I know building these packages is time consuming and I was curious if there is another way that I am missing or if anyone on arch even cares about flash.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'A')dobe said it will optimize Flash for use on ARM architecture (ARMv6 and ARMv7 architectures used in the ARM11 family and the Cortex-A series of processors) and release it in the second half of 2009. The company also stated it wants to enable Flash on NVIDIA Tegra, Texas Instruments OMAP 3 and Samsung ARMs.[35][36] Beginning 2009, it was announced that Adobe would be bringing Flash to TV sets via Intel Media Processor CE 3100 before mid-2009.[37] Later on, ARM Holdings said it welcomes the move of Flash, because "it will transform mobile applications and it removes the claim that the desktop controls the Internet."[38] However, as of May 2009, the expected ARM/Linux netbook devices had poor support for Web video and fragmented software base.[39]

iceweasel is debian's rebranding of firefox, unfortunately no firefox in alarm it seems.
Midori and gnash seem to be a nice fallback plan.

lightspark has been recommended by a few forum users in the web it's not in the alarm repo

BTW in did not check with the archlinux AUR, which for arm can be near semless or extraordinarily complicated, usually if it takes me more than 30 minutes to get an AUR package to compile on alarm I drop it and look for an alternate plan.
