Adobe Flash 7 player

[jockyw2001]

I managed to install Adobe's Flash 7 player for PPC on S710.
The steps are:
1. Install Flash 7 in PPC emulator
2. Export 4 registry keys from HKLM\software\ and register them manually (or import with a registry editor)
3. Download Adobe Flash 6 player and extract flash.dll and copy it to S710
4. Register flash.dll with regsvrce.exe
5. Copy /Windows/Macromedia/flash.dll from PPC emulator and overwrite the Flash 6 version with it on your S710
6. Install Opera 8.65beta for smartphone

Now you can view YouTube. For acceptable quality you have to overclock to 240MHz

UPDATE: Forum moderator Menneisyys has written a wonderful tut here:

Okay, everything you need is in the attachment.

The steps are:
1. Import 4 registry keys from HKLM\software\.. and register them manually (I used MobileRegistryEditor on PC) or import with a registry editor. See screenshots.
2. Copy Windows directory to your smartphone (answer yes to overwrite all)
3. Copy flash.dll from Flash 6 to \Windows\Macromedia on your smartphone
4. Register it with regsvrce.exe (\Windows\Macromedia\flash.dll). Run regsvrce again to see immediately the success "alert"
5. Copy flash.dll from Flash 7 to \Windows\Macromedia and overwrite the Flash 6 version
6. Install Opera 8.65beta for smartphone
7. Soft reset your smartphone (power cycle)

Now you can view YouTube. For acceptable quality you have to overclock to 240MHz

Have fun,

Thanks for taking the time to do this!

New attachment. In the previous one there were a few files missing, sorry.
It took some time, because the upload constantly fails if the size is > 2MB

Thanks! I am using MobileRegistryEditor how do you import the .reg files? I don't see an option. Thanks!

I am getting an error that I don't have the right version of flash loaded any ideas??? I have double checked the reg keys and they look right, and I know the regserv worked, do I need to regserv the flash.dll from flash 7 as well?

No, after you registered flash 6 it should be sufficient to overwrite it with the flash 7 dll. When and where exactly do you get this error?
