    Hi Rory,

    Thanks for your response.

    Yes, my application is 64bit. The installed flash plug-in is 32bit. I guess that it could be the reason. But, my application must run as 64bit. So, :-(.

    However, my Safari is 64bit. Why can it play flash? I searched this question on Internet. Some people think that I should lunch WebKitPluginHost.app. Through this host application, access 32bit flash plugin. Your idea? And, how do I lunch it in Qt? Could you help me? Thank you so much. Maybe, I should install a 64bit flash plugin. But, I don't search it on Internet. Does flash plugin have 64bit version?

      I gdb my application. There is the error:


      Error loading /Library/Internet
      Plug-Ins/Flash Player.plugin/Contents/MacOS/Flash Player:
      dlopen(/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/Flash Player.plugin/Contents/MacOS/Flash
      Player, 262): no suitable image found. Did find:

        Hi Frank,

        As far as I know, there is no version of flash for 64-bit architectures.

        I don't know what the solution to your problem is if you can't compile your app as 32-bit. But you're right, Safari is able to overcome this issue so it must be possible.

        Using a 32-bit host app to run the flash plugin certainly sounds like a possibility, but I don't have any experience using this. Sorry.

        Good luck,
        Rory

            Hi Rory,
            Thanks for this quick response. When build my application as 32bit, a flash can be shown. But unfortunately, my application must be 64bit. Ooops...

            Hi Tomma,
            Thanks for your response. In fact, I installed this version of flash plug-in from "http://download.macromedia.com/pub/labs/flashplayer10/flashplayer10_2_p3_64bit_mac_111710.dmg". But, you can see that this plug-in still be 32bit, when use nm command to check its information(nm /Users/frank/Desktop/Test/fancybrowser/build/Debug/fancybrowser.app/Contents/MacOS/fancybrowser -arch x86_64). So, even if install this version of flash plug-in, a flash can not be shown, yet.

            Hi Rory and Tomma,
            Is there other way to show flash in Qt except for QtWebKit? Today, I will try Phonon library. Hope to see any progress. Thank guys.

            -Frank

              Hi guys,

              Today, I tried Phonon library to play a flash. It is failed because QuickTime on which Phonon depends does not support swf(flash file format). Ooops :-(

              -Frank

                I have the same problem, how do i compile my app as 32bit?

                if I make an project only of qml and use an webview I can run html5 videos with no problem but the debugger shows lots of errors and some times the app crash, on qt I get the same error as the OP

                    Do you work on XCode?

                    If so, follow the step: "Targets" -> "(Your Application)" -> "Get Info" -> go to "Build" table -> go to "Architectures" -> go to "Architectures" -> Select "32-bit Itel".

                    That's all. Hope that it can help you.

                      I resolved this problem. The solution just is to invoke a 32bit process(in fact, it is a application) to play a flash while a 64bit application executes. So far, everything is OK. By the way, I don't use WebKitPluginHost.app. :-)

                      Generally, I expect that Adobe can release early 64bit flash plug-in. After all, it is a real way.

                          thanks, I don't work on xcode but i've figured it out how to do.

                          i've added this to my .pro file:
                          CONFIG -= x86_64 ppc64
                          CONFIG *= x86

                          I don't need a native 64bit app so i can build it all in 32 :)

                            If you want to make some older Mac users with PowerPC machines (yes, there are still a lot of them around running OS X 10.5!), then change your line to this in order to make a 32 bit universal app:

                            @
                            CONFIG *= x86 ppc
                            @

                                Sorry, I missed that. It was just that people slowly forget about this ancient platforms in their apps :-) In most cases there is no or little technical reason for this.
