I just started to mess with creating a flash player based off the Jflash api's from Java.net. I'm curious if any other developers have messed with this and what thier level of success / finding were? I just started creating this program so what I'm really asking is has this been tried? If so what were the reasons for it not working. I don't want to put a ton of time into it if it is futile but if there's a chance then I'm going to play with it.
Why not put time into it? With people willing to pay $10 for solitaire by the thousands, just imagine how many people would pay $14.99 for a flash player. Let's just be modest and say only 1000 people out of the million who have a Storm buy it...that's 15 large. How much work would you do for that much money?

the point to his post was IF its been tried before. if it has and isn't feasable then why bother. make it 9.99 and EVERYONE with a brain and a storm would buy it. i's gladly help you retire for 9.99.
I wish you luck and hope it works out for you. But don't you think if this was something easily done that adobe would have already came out with a flash player for blackberry. If anyone in their marketing department would get one this site alone and see how many people are foaming at the mouth for a flash player, they would just all over it. Just my opinion. But it would be nice to see someone independent figure it out first and put adobe to shame.
are you sure cause my friend has the g1 and he was able to go to a website and play music off of it and iphone users can use facebook chat while on the website so dont they have it?

Facebook Chat is something Java-related, not Flash. Not all website music playing is Flash-based.
And for the OP: before you undertake this endeavor, make sure the end result will do what you think it will do. What I mean by this is, from what I can tell about jflash from Java's website, the end goal is to make a Flash player capable of playing .swf files. However, if you're looking to build a player that will support Flash video like what is seen on Youtube, then you need something capable of rendering the Flash video container format (.flv) and playing the video that is being streamed, which is probably H.263, VP6, or MP4.
