- demurgos 9y agoPlease correct me if I am wrong, but I believe that you need the source code to compile a program using Emscripten? Even if some components of the Player are open-sourced [1], the Player itself is still closed source. [1]: https://github.com/adobe/avmplus https://github.com/adobe/avmplus
- earenndil 9y agoWhat if you decompiled the binary to c and __then__ compiled it with emscripten?
- bigbugbag 9y agoThere's no stupid question. IIANM, no it's not. We don't have the source for flash player and none of the open source alternative have ever been complete.
