Today I got this "smart" TV (made by LG).
And I thought to myself, wonder if I can play on bbo on it?
Suspect that it doesn’t have Flash, but can’t hurt to try.
I get to the login page OK. This is encouraging, as I don’t think that I would get that far without Flash.

Now we get to the frustrating part:
I can click into the user name and password fields, but the popup keyboard does not appear, contrary to behaviour whenever I normally click into a focus that requires text input.

Hmm, update on this.

I just went to the LG developer forums and did a search on Flash,

One of the comments in a thread that I read (dated Jan 2013) said

Quote


The LG is going to stop to support about the Flash/AIR Development after SDK 3.0.
Thus, We recommend to you to develop a web application using HTML5.



The implication is that LG did support Flash at least in Jan 2013. But perhaps no longer.

Are there plans to migrate BBO into HTML5? More and more I am reading that the writing is on the wall for Flash.

No idea what SDK 3.0 means.
