[SoaS] Sugar on a Stick Flash compatibility?

[Sean DALY]

thanks Peter yes the codecs issue is always slippery :-(

Adobe quietly added Speex support to the latest version of Flash
Player, would be great if they did likewise with a video codec but I'm
not holding my breath. And of course that leaves us in the lurch for
vids in H.264, On2VP6, Sorenson Spark.

I'm just wondering if we have gnash in there, if not will we be able
to publish a simple procedure for adding it?

thanks

Sean
