Hi everyone, progress on Lightspark is going full speed. The last achievement was to correctly generate and partially render the youtube player layout. As you may have heard (http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg06009.html) Youtube has moved to Flash 10 and AS3 to provide some HD content, while maintaining the old AS2 based player (which is of course supported by gnash) for lower quality videos.
Right now lightspark is able to execute all the complex AS3 code which generates the UI of the player, and the request to download the video is also executed. I've tested the requested URL and it actually works. So we can consider lightspark good enough to download the video file. I'm going to implement profiling support for AS as the next step, and I'll spend some time optimizing code. The profiling data will be generated using the callgrind format, also used by valgrind, so that the wonderful kcachegrind tool can be used to visualize it. This means that soon Lightspark could also be useful as a profiling tool for Flash applications. Cheers, Alessandro Pignotti
