Loading flash game - some questions

[Typhoonk]

Is there a method to get these flash games to work (or just a method to this trial and error madness)

this is what I am doing

1. download a swf file (less than 1MB seems to work, as I can't get angry birds to work. its 2mb)
2. untar the GoldMiner tar file
3. replace the swf file and rename it loader.swf
4. then re-tar it
5. use manager to 'load' it back to the device.


my question is - why doesn't the angrybirds.swf from the inno forum work?
how can I load multiple games?
how to switch the game from landscape to portrait? would be good for tetris.

thanks in advance.

I don't think many people have played with loading custom flash games so I doubt you will get much feedback.

Have a read of the following link.

Leapster Explorer: Play Your Own Flash Games

The Flash Lite for the Digital Home, as built for the Leapster Explorer, is a bit hit or miss, when it comes to playing random

• The swf file must be ActionScript2 and compiled for versions no higher than Flash Player 8.
  
• Flash Lite for the Digital Home does not support all AS2 features. No internet access, etc
  
• Files built much larger than 320x240, may have issues with displaying, or the exit screen.
  
• Pick games that have simple inputs. Flash Lite interprets the buttons as these values.
  

If there's enough demand, maybe we should compile a pack based from the successes from this thread:

I just don't think there is enough demand for it.

Cool. I thought about finding a flash player for music and video and integrate it into the Manager app, but never got around to doing it.

I can't remember, but these devices are very picky with the SWF version.  You can download the Gold Miner and modify that with your SWF game. That is the best advice I have to offer.

I found alot of websites out there with alot of good games just as good as the cartridges. They are all old flash games that people made back in the 80s . I dont think you can get control of the DPad on any of them due to them all being PC flash games but maybe that can be altered.
