I'm not sure if @TomFulp or @Mike are aware of this. But I would think if somebody on Newgrounds would know, they'd shouted it off the rooftops around here already (or maybe I just missed it? That why I'm making a post about it).
So I was messing around on my phone, trying to get a Linux distribution working on it, would seem awesome if I could run that, with Wine on my phone, so I can get my trusted old computer software, to work on my smartphone (mobile Flash-8 baby! Hell to the f*cking yeah dude!), so I can save myself a sweaty back, carrying my laptop around.
And to get all of that working, I had to get an app that functions as the Linux terminal, but the version available on the standard Google app store, wasn't working. So I had to get a different app-downloading-app, to download the version of the terminal app, wich did work. It's called F-Droid, and as soon as I opened it up, this was what immediatly caught my eye:
(The message above the donate button is in Dutch, because I am, and so was my phone, set up by default. It says: Ruffle is made by torokati44, donate a cup of coffee. I think a certain guy named Mike should be included in those credits, unless its an alias, but that's beside the point of this post.)
You may have heard of the old stupid saying, stupid people still like to tell eachother about finding love:'When you least expect it, that's when you find it'. Well, that's a big load of stinky old rotten and stomped on horsecrap, to give losers in romance/relationships (hey! That's me! ';D) some false hope, so they won't lose their marbles, or their minds.
But the saying DID follow through with finding a way to play or test swf files on my phone. There may be other swf player-apps out there, but they either don't work, work very shitty, or make you pay up the wazzoo, to find out it does or doesn't work at all. I looked around and tried a lot of different apps, but they all dissapointed.
So I downloaded the free Ruffle app, on this newly installed F-Droid store. And what did you know.....IT WORKED ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC BABY!!
I quickly downloaded some swf files, from some of my old abandoned WIP projects, from many years ago, gathering digital dust on my old dumping grounds.

I opened them up on the Ruffle app. And it just worked like a charm! And I thought that was absolutely fantastic, ya know? (Despite there not being some credit where credit is due by the app creator, but I think we can let that one slide by the sheer awesomeness in the functionality). That certainly deserves some kind of public service announcement. I may not be the right guy to make that announcement, but I haven't seen or heard anybody else talk about this.
So here I am. And there you have it, I suppose.
If anybody reading this is excited to try it out on his/her android device. Here's where I got it:
