Hi,
I'm wondering about Opera's 9.5 browser's capabilities to display flash content on Diamond phone.
I played around with my phone and installed some Flash player 7 plugin. After I removed it and browsed pages with flash content via Opera Mobile the flash content was not displayed at all.
I havent tried to browse flash pages or didn't payed any attention to it before installing that flash 7 thing.
So what should it be by default? Shold Opera Mobile 9.5 display flash content (heard about Flash Lite 3.0 support or something) or no.
When I installed back Flash 7 plugin Opera started to display some flash content. I was able to go to for example miniclip.com and it loaded some game called Aqua Energizer...(controls didn't worked as Diamond do not have keyboard)...but some newer games...probably Flash 8 or 9 were not displayed at all as well as for example if I went to page deviantart.com or adobe.com, the page loaded with some text at top and bottom or on sides but no content at the middle, just almost blank page.

So did I disabled some capabilities of Opera by installing that Flash player or it is working as it should?

Thank's :)

With the early Opera that came with the Diamond and Flash 7 I was able to play YouTube and BBC Iplayer (all be it the Iplayer was very slow picture wise the audio was fine) but with the current version of Opera when you try and access any pages with Flash it just crashes back to the Today screen.

I can't say that I tried too many things previously but if you have a newer version of Opera save your time and don't bother trying at the moment.

Thank's :)

Just to compare could you or somebody try to open deviantart.com and adobe.com with their Daemond and tell me how does the pages look like?

P.S. My Opera's version is 9.5 build 1522
