Flash for HTC Hero

[russellh]

Hi there, New to this forum and this is my first post.

A question which I hope the Android Massive can help me with. Loving the HTC Hero experience, but every time I try to run an embedded video (as in BBN Website for example) via the browser, I am told I do not have the correct version of the flash player.

When I follow the link to download the correct version, it first assumes that I should download Adobe Flash v.10.0.32.18 for Linux. Assuming this is not correct for Android on the Hero, I then go to the link for a different OS or browser, and I only see options for Windows, Mac, Linux or Solaris - nothing appropriate for Android?

Is this lack of flash support something with which I have to live, or are there any ways in which I can install appropriate flash support? Thanks for any help.

Welcome to the AF forums and enjoy your visits !!

I suggest you try the Hero forums with your question ....

flash is supported on the Hero, first android device to have it.

HTC Hero: The first Android device with Flash | Adobe Developer Connection

the flash is the main reason i got the Hero but it is a special version of Flash Lite 3.1 that is built into the Hero's ROM...I have about a 50% success rate viewing flash animations.
