I still think emscripten is a right way to go. You say Adobe sees no future in Flash? Do you mean for Linux or for MS-Windows and Mac OS too? There is an overabundance of web sites that overuse Flash, and in cases where there is a Flash version and non-Flash version, the non-Flash version always works better. I have never seen a case where a Flash version worked better that a non-Flash version. What would replace Flash? WOuld it be HTML 5? Gnash worked well for me on YouTube but almost nowhere else. I looked for emscripten in FreeBSD ports, didn't find, but found something via Google. Tom
