Zooming out or using a browser that runs at native resolution like <a href="/go/Opera" title="Opera">Opera</a> will improve performance.</li></ul> <ul><li>Additional performance increase at the sacrifice of visual quality may be gained by running Flash in low-quality mode. This may be achieved by right-clicking on the flash applet to access the context menu, then selecting QUALITY -> Low. Note that a lot of Flash applets disable the right-click context menu.</li></ul> <p>A forum thread at the following URL documents a workaround that will start the Adobe Flash plugin in low-quality mode by default: <a rel="nofollow" class="external free" href="http://www.olpcnews.com/forum/index.php?topic=845.msg7429">http://www.olpcnews.com/forum/index.php?topic=845.msg7429</a> note that the guide was written with Flash 9 in mind and has been documented to crash the browser on Flash 10: <a rel="nofollow" class="external free" href="http://www.olpcnews.com/forum/index.php?topic=3804.0">http://www.olpcnews.com/forum/index.php?topic=3804.0</a> </p> <h3><span class="mw-headline" id="Flash_Video">Flash Video</span></h3> <p>Installing the latest version of Adobe Flash will allow users to run sites like Youtube.com and GoogleVideo.com and play Flash Video. Note however that decoding video is a CPU-intensive activity. Due to the XO's limited CPU, Flash Video will play at very low framerates. Sound in general will play at full speed. Running Flash in low-quality mode (detailed in the previous section) may improve Flash Video performance. </p> <h3><span class="mw-headline" id="Flash_3D">Flash 3D</span></h3> <p>3D in Flash is achieved via software rendering and is not hardware accelerated. Because of this, 3D in Flash is very CPU and memory-intensive, and the XO's limited 433MHz CPU and 256MB RAM may not be able to cope. </p><p>Visiting sites that use Flash 3D engines such as Papervision3D.org, the demo pages of FlashSandy.org and AlternativaPlatform.com may freeze the browser <b>*AND* the entire machine</b> thus requiring a reboot. </p><p>Because of this, avoid visiting sites which make use of 3D in Flash. </p> <h3><span class="mw-headline" id="Webcam_Support">Webcam Support</span></h3> <p>Support for the XO's built-in camera seems to be problematic. </p><p>In both the Browse Activity and Opera browser: </p> <ul><li>Browsing Flash apps that use the webcam will turn on the indicator light above the webcam</li> <li>Flash 9 shows just a black screen</li> <li>Flash 10 shows red and green static which reacts to motion. This means the camera is working, but isn't talking quite correctly with Flash.</li> <li>Tested on Update.1 711</li></ul> <p>More information may be found here: <a rel="nofollow" class="external free" href="http://olpcnews.com/forum/index.php?topic=3676.0">http://olpcnews.com/forum/index.php?topic=3676.0</a> </p></div>    </div> <div class="printfooter" data-nosnippet="">Retrieved from "<a dir="ltr" href="http://wiki.laptop.org/mediawiki/index.php?title=Adobe_Flash&oldid=300183">http://wiki.laptop.org/mediawiki/index.php?title=Adobe_Flash&oldid=300183</a>"</div></div> <div id="catlinks" class="catlinks" data-mw="interface"><div id="mw-normal-catlinks" class="mw-normal-catlinks"><a href="/go/Special:Categories" title="Special:Categories">Categories</a>: <ul><li><a href="/go/Category:Machine_translation" title="Category:Machine translation">Machine translation</a></li><li><a href="/go/Category:General_Public" title="Category:General Public">General Public</a></li><li><a href="/go/Category:Support" title="Category:Support">Support</a></li><li><a href="/go/Category:Developers" title="Category:Developers">Developers</a></li><li><a href="/go/Category:Obsolete" title="Category:Obsolete">Obsolete</a></li><li><a href="/go/Category:Linux_software" title="Category:Linux software">Linux software</a></li></ul></div></div> </div> </div> <div id="mw-navigation"> <h2>Navigation menu</h2> <div id="mw-head"> <nav id="p-personal" class="vector-menu mw-portlet mw-portlet-personal vector-user-menu-legacy" aria-labelledby="p-personal-label" role="navigation" > <h3 id="p-personal-label" class="vector-menu-heading " > <span class="vector-menu-heading-label">Personal tools</span> </h3> <div class="vector-menu-content"> <ul class="vector-menu-content-list"><li id="pt-login" class="mw-list-item"><a href="/mediawiki/index.php?title=Special:UserLogin&returnto=Adobe+Flash" title="You are encouraged to log in; however, it is not mandatory [o]" accesskey="o"><span>Log in</span></a></li></ul> </div> </nav> <div id="left-navigation"> <nav id="p-namespaces" class="vector-menu mw-portlet mw-portlet-namespaces vector-menu-tabs vector-menu-tabs-legacy" aria-labelledby="p-namespaces-label" role="navigation" > <h3 id="p-namespaces-label" class="vector-menu-heading " > <span class="vector-menu-heading-label">Namespaces</span> </h3> <div class="vector-menu-content"> <ul class="vector-menu-content-list"><li id="ca-nstab-main" class="selected mw-list-item"><a href="/go/Adobe_Flash" title="View the content page [c]" accesskey="c"><span>Page</span></a></li><li id="ca-talk" class="mw-list-item"><a href="/go/Talk:Adobe_Flash" rel="discussion" title="Discussion about the content page [t]" accesskey="t"><span>Discussion</span></a></li></ul> </div> </nav> <nav id="p-variants" class="vector-menu mw-portlet mw-portlet-variants emptyPortlet vector-menu-dropdown" aria-labelledby="p-variants-label" role="navigation" > <input type="checkbox" id="p-variants-checkbox" role="button" aria-haspopup="true" data-event-name="ui.dropdown-p-variants" class="vector-menu-checkbox" aria-labelledby="p-variants-label" /> <label id="p-variants-label" aria-label="Change language variant" class="vector-menu-heading " > <span class="vector-menu-heading-label">English</span> </label> <div class="vector-menu-content"> <ul class="vector-menu-content-list"></ul> </div> </nav> </div> <div id="right-navigation"> <nav id="p-views" class="vector-menu mw-portlet mw-portlet-views vector-menu-tabs vector-menu-tabs-legacy" aria-labelledby="p-views-label" role="navigation" > <h3 id="p-views-label" class="vector-menu-heading " > <span class="vector-menu-heading-label">Views</span> </h3> <div class="vector-menu-content"> <ul class="vector-menu-content-list"><li id="ca-view" class="selected mw-list-item"><a href="/go/Adobe_Flash"><span>Read</span></a></li><li id="ca-viewsource" class="mw-list-item"><a href="/mediawiki/index.php?title=Adobe_Flash&action=edit" title="This page is protected.
