[Sugar-devel] Flash on Browse Activity - Ubuntu

[Tony Anderson]

Hi, Sebastian

I install flash support on all four models of XO (13.2.5). This support 
is essential for OLE Nepal's E-Paath suite of educational activities. 
The issue is not whether it is supported but whether it works. So far, 
so good.

Granted that Flash activities should be ported to javascript as soon as 
possible, but over the years a huge inventory of Flash based 
applications have been developed and are still in widespread use.
