Hi all,

I am a developer from Multunus Softwares Pvt Ltd <http://multunus.com>. We
installed the adobe flash player
plugin<http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/installers/archive/android/11.1.115.81/install_flash_player_ics.apk>
from
adobe's archive in Samsung Tab3 (x86 arch) running Android 4.2.2. When we
tried to load flash.vimalvnair.com in the Firefox browser, and it worked
fine. But it failed to load in the Android webview. Latter we found out
that the adobe flash player plugin is for ARM arch. When we replaced the
libflashplayer.so file with a x86 version it stopped working in Firefox.
But we were successfully able to play the SWF files in the Android webview.
Any thoughts on why this is happening. We were also curious to know how
Firefox is able to play SWF with libflashplayer.so which was built for ARM
architecture.

When the flash animation was playing in Android Webview with the x86
version of libflashplayer.so we noticed a black background covering the
whole Webview as seen here <http://i.imgur.com/1KOZkgb.png?2> (the
animations were working fine though). Any thoughts on how to resolve this
issue. Our project requires to load SWF file in the Android Webview.

Thanks
