Source code

Lightspark supports SWF files written on all versions of the ActionScript language. Lightspark won't be able to access the fonts installed in the system if the fontconfig development files are not installed. The following tools are also required: cmake nasm c/c++ compiler with support for c++14 (gcc version =5 or clang version =3.4) There are two ways of building Lightspark. You can use the included script, by running ./build.sh . or for a debug build, run ./build.sh -d . You can also do it manually, with the following commands: If you run into issues building Lightspark, firstly try deleting the contents of obj , and run ./build.sh file again. If you continue to have issues, please let us know. Most browsers including Firefox and Chromium don't support flash any longer, so the plugins don't work on their latest versions. The command line version of Lightspark can play a local SWF file. Many applications do not yet work yet because the implementation is incomplete. But we do support a number of them. See our [compatibility page] for more details. The Flash Player Projector can be found here, or if that link is broken, on this page, under the Linux category. Extract the archive, and then you have your flashplayer executable. This should be used when testing Lightspark, to discern what are genuine bugs with Lightspark, and what are simply bugs with the SWF file itself. If you think you have found a bug, see our bug reporting help for details.
