I wonder about the performance of flashlite application in high
resolution (e.g. XGA 1024x768) when running on the OMAP3.
Did anyone tried to run any flashlite application in such resolution
or even higher than that?, if yes could you please put some lite on
that experience?, how was the responsiveness?, how smooth were the
moves?, ...
Is it possible to run flashlite? I haven't seen any binaries or
sources. It would be great however... If you have some pointers how to
obtain flashlite I would be more than interested.

It will run, but very slowly.

I have seen the sources. I barely survived the experience.

Believe me, it's not.

Pay lots of money to Adobe.
Hi,
Hold on here... Let's not slam Flash Lite just because it is a
commercial product. There is still a place for capitalism in this
world. 
I disagree with the "very slowly", "pay lots of money" comments.
While it does not run as fast as it does on a PC, we're talking about
a 500 MHz 1/2 Watt processor here. And it runs quite respectably on
OMAP 3503 without any acceleration (generally about 1/2 the speed of a
PC).
If you'd like to see a demo of it running, view my youtube:

If you'd like to get a running version of the software, then you will
need to contract with Calsoft Labs. And if you produce a production
device, then you will need to also purchase licenses. So it's not
part of the opensource gestalt. But it is available as a commercial
product.
I hope this helps.
Best regards,
Geof

I'm not slamming it because it's a commercial product. I'm slamming
it because I've seen the source code. When the number of lines
starting with #ifdef outnumber the lines with actual code, something
is seriously amiss. Never mind that it's awfully inefficiently
structured...
Ah... Now we're in sync. Peace.

Geof, what resolution is demonstrated at your demo?
You mentioned it is running without any acceleration, but OMAP3503
includes a 2D HW acceleration so what is the reason that the flashlite
doesn't use it?
As for the criticism about flashlite, assuming you would like to have
animation and casual games then what would you recommend to use
instead of it?
Thanks

Good luck trying to add acceleration of any kind to flashlite...

Quake?
Bsquare has an optimized version for OMAP35xx that takes advantage of the OpenVG 1.1 with the latest version of Flash-Lite 3.1.6. It works brilliantly on a 1024x768 screen (full screen).

Hi,
My video is running 1024x768 on OMAP 35x Beagleboard under Angstrom.
And I agree with Kevin Hasley that both Bsquare and Calsoft Labs have
it running well on OMAP. The 3503 model does not have the graphics or
video accelerators. And hence, I am only demoing it on 3503 so that
we can see what the lowest common denominator is. There is room for
accelerators to improve it. But much of the time, I don't think that
will prove necessary.
Best regards,
Geof
Måns,
Do you know about a version of Quake ported to the beagleboard or any
other OMAP?
