Bounty: Flash plugin

A lot of the current bounties are a bit technical and hard for users to really get behind, so how about this for something that would be a big help to RISC OS web browsing – a Flash plugin.

Now I know this has been discussed before, and some people said there was no point because it would be too slow, but:
1) We have faster hardware now
2) Slow is better than nothing at all!
3) I’m not expecting it to play video or games

The sort of things I would like to see working are all those cinema/theatre booking sites that use Flash to display a plan so you can choose your seats. That does not need to be fast, not that it should be too taxing anyway.

Is this a practical bounty to set up?

This’d be great – but unfortunately I understand that it’d be rather costly to sort out the Adobe proprietary license. Hopefully that’s not the case after all!

Isn’t that for the official version? Presumably porting Gnash or Lightspark would not have licensing issues.

Yes, but the open source Flash clones are basically only useful for Flash applets written for them.
