Hi all,

I installed the Shumway extension in a Firefox beta build but cannot seem
to run any Flash content. I tried various swf files and even compiled the
race3 example. I see a blue Shumway button that appears but nothing more.

Any idea?

I believe that the extension requires an Aurora (Firefox 18) build to
work properly.

Also note that a lot of real-world content is still going to be broken
because we don't have enough APIs implemented yet. But at least the
racing game and the few others that we're developing against should work.

I tested with Aurora 18.0a2 but it gives the same result as with a 17.x version. The Shumway button appears, but the swf content is not rendered.

As a test I compiled the race game and the following simple app:

package {

import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.text.TextField;

public class Shumway extends Sprite {
public function Shumway() {
var textField:TextField = new TextField();
textField.text = "Hello World";
addChild(textField);
}
}
}

A lot of AS3 API's are not implemented yet, so isn't flash.text.TextField. Text placed on the timeline using the Flash IDE should work well though.
