Opera Mobile and Flash

sadievan · 11-29-2011, 05:48 PM

I am using Opera Mobile and really like it. Thanks Blossom. When I went to Amazon's site and clicked on my Cloud, it said I needed Flash installed. I thought Opera Mobile already had Flash. Did anyone install Adobe Flash and is it OK for Opera Mobile on the Fire.

That's strange. The Fire comes with Adobe Flash Player 10.3 installed. Settings --> More (+) --> Applications --> All Applications

Blossom · 11-29-2011, 06:16 PM

There's an option in settings to turn on Flash.

Sorry I got it mixed up with another browser.

Just checked my Opera Mobile settings. Flash was set at 'click to play' I changed it to 'enabled'

Thanks

I changed the setting in Opera to enable Flash. It's still not loading the page. Tells me I need to install Flash. So I click to install flash and it tells me it's not supported.

Does it work with the Silk Browser?

Yes. Also works with dolphin mini.

Maybe someone who has opera mobile installed can try going to their cloud drive on Amazon and see if it works for them.

I don't have Opera Mobile. Is there an option to change the User Agent (e.g. from Desktop to Mobile, iPod, iPad etc.)? Most browsers have an option or something similar. Press MENU from the Options Bar and see what pops up?

There is an option for desktop or tablet. It is.set to tablet by default.

Is that what you have yours set to? Did you download Flash to Opera mobile.

Cloud Player supports the latest versions of Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari, and Chrome. Cloud Player doesn't support Opera, Internet Explorer 7 and below, Firefox versions below 3.5.

With Opera Mobile set to desktop Flash completely fails, with it set to tablet I sometimes get audio but little if any video.

Silk plays Flash better but the audio is out of sync with the video which renders it unwatchable IMO.

I used CNN.com for both tests.
