the flash player for our axim's is just an activex "plugin" for pie and as such it can play back .swf files that are embedded in html pages such as

flash movie creators can create two types of movies when they use the macromedia flash authoring tool: .swf's that need to be embedded in an html file and "projectors" that are standalone executables for the mac & pc. this works well and good for desktops, however....
for ppc's, by default a flash developer can only make .swf files that are viewable from the browser or a 3rd party flash viewer program. the developer must buy an addon (>$400 i believe) from macromedia to create standalone flash movies for the ppc that don't need pie to run as well as being able to run in fullscreen mode...there are also other 3rd party solutions.
to the best of my knowledge, the desktop .exe projector files do not run our ppc's.
i have an axim a5 advanced with the a03 firmware and am able to view flash movies via pie just fine...i did nothing differently than the standard install
