ActionScript 3 support

[kschoenberger]

Hi, how is the implemention for ActionScript 3 support going? Based on the outdated roadmap it has been ~25%. It was mentioned that the implementation will take ~4 months.

Can anyone please comment on that?

BR, Klaus

Hi! You should look at https://ruffle.rs/avm2.html

The roadmap is extremely outdated. This is a (very) rough estimate, but most games should be playable by the end of this year.

The outdated Roadmap said that "Initial ActionScript 3.0", as in basic support that would allow simple games to work, could take 4 months. While that was admittedly far too optimistic at the time (it took years), basic support can be considered complete already, and simple games are working. The problem is, many games are not simple, so there is still a lot of work needed for more complex games to fully work.

Thanks for your immediate replies. So I'll be patient and watch the progress bar at https://ruffle.rs/avm2.html I don't want to play a game, my use case is to access an interface of an old devices controller. Currently it got stuck in the initialization. Not sure what part of the API implementation it is missing.

Assuming you're using a web browser, you may be able to open the developer console with F12 and refresh the page, and you may see relevant error messages there. If you then post them it may be possible to figure out what part of the API it's currently stuck on.

https://ruffle.rs/avm2.html tells me that flash.events.PressAndTapGestureEvent is still missing. Is there any workaround I could test?

Thanks for supporting me.

If you just need to access the app, you can use a Flash-enabled browser such as this one: https://archive.org/details/basilisk-portable-with-flash

[kschoenberger]

Thanks. I took that already into consideration, but I need a solution with any standard browser.
