Features

Lightspark supports most of ActionScript 3.0 and has an NPAPI plug-in. [2] Though it has some support for it, it will fall back on Gnash, a free SWF player, on ActionScript 1.0 and 2.0 (AVM1) code.

Lightspark supports OpenGL-based rendering and uses OpenGL shaders (GLSL). The player is compatible with H.264 Flash videos such as those on YouTube.

Portability

The Lightspark player is completely portable. [3] It has been successfully built on Ubuntu 11.04 (Natty Narwhal) on PowerPC, x86, ARM and AMD64 architectures. [4] Lightspark has a Win32 branch for Microsoft Visual Studio [5] and introduced a Mozilla-compatible plug-in for Windows in version 0.5.3.
