Just a heads up to all the devs who use Flash for their apps. Check out Google Swiffy at http://swiffy.googlelabs.com/
Swiffy converts Flash SWF files to HTML5, allowing you to reuse Flash content on devices without a Flash player (such as iPhones and iPads).
Swiffy currently supports a subset of SWF 8 and ActionScript 2.0, and the output works in all Webkit browsers such as Chrome and Mobile Safari. If possible, exporting your Flash animation as a SWF 5 file might give better results.

Hi,
I've just installed the latest WM6 rom on my 8525 and also installed Flash player 7 along with the java addons. I've tried viewing videos from youtube and mtv from both internet explorer and opera mini 4 beta 3 but any video i click it always says flash player not installed and click here to go to adobe etc.... Can someone help me configure it so I can play flash videos? thanks
cmon, somebody has to have an answer for this. I can't load any videos on standard pages for myspace, mtv, youtube, etc. it says javascript is either turned off or you dont have the right player. I downloaded flashplayer 7. Running mini opera 4 beta 3 and pocket IE as well as picsel browser.
Mobile browsers not designed for video
Neither of the browsers you are trying are capable of displaying flash based videos. The Opera Mini will probably never support them because it is a Java based browser for use on most any phone. There is a Windows Mobile Opera that is in beta, last I heard, that claims to support flash based videos, however the only thing I could get it to do was crash my 8525, forcing me to soft reset, at which time I then uninstalled it completely. As you will see in the instructions at one of the links below, there is one more file you can download that will play the videos, which seems to be accomplished through the link from internet explorer triggering the thirdparty app to open and strat trying to play the video.
You could try the instructions here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=326225, however I have not tried them and can not confirm for you if they work.
The way I currently play these type files is using a program called AvotMV. AvotMV has a internet browser type feel to it, and when you play the videos it will automatically play them "full" screen (in portrait mode). If you want to try AvotMV, you can download it for free from the developers here here http://www.avotmedia.com/
the tcpmp and flashbundle works beautifuly. especially on a highspd connection. the newest version givesthe choice dowloading or streaming it. You will have to unistall flash7 as it will clash with flashbundle plugin. I posted awhile back if some could figure out how to get them to work together or at least independently on different browsers because the tmpcp flash plugin will only play videos not other flash content.
That explains it...
I have the official flash 2.1 from adobe for WM5/6 which allows me to use one of the spinning cube flash controllers. Would be nice if someone could figure it out because this does not look like it will work for me until a fix is made.
What i dont understand is why there is no standalone flash player, like a mp4 player.
Application that will grab videos from webpages and view them in the player
It will be faster using hardware acceleration
And it would work on any version of android.
The Flash Player is proprietary of Adobe Corp., and licensed by them. If you want to use the technology's source, you have to pay them a lot. And also, the ARMv6 CPUs (what can be found in most of the Android devices) do not support full flash, as they miss some given instructions, what are in ARMv7 (thus, those phones can play flash).
You can't simply drop together a Flash player, because
a, You need the source (what isn't available)
b, You need the instructions set (what is only available under ARMv7 (ARM Cortex A8), and for those phones, there's already a player)
So simply, it isn't possible.
lets say i have a milestone 2.1
with a A8 processor
now i cant play flash player
to my knowledge the flash videos are in .flv format correct?
VLC player for desktop plays flv so whats the problem with android?
Flash Video (FLV) and Flash are two different technologies. For FLV playback, you need a codec of it, what is, of course, basically not part of AOSP android. If you dug yourself through a Samsung Galaxy S firmware, you will find the matching .so files, and also, edit /etc/pvplayer.cfg and include the flv indexes from the GalaxyS file.
i'm not a software creator so i cant make software
but there could be made a player that Catches FLV videos from the browser and then plays them?
Hellos, after hour on end searching and trying to get WinMo 6.5 to run this .swf file, which I critically need to learn kata, I am wondering if any of the ported SD android builds has a flash player able to run it?
http://eye.swfchan.com/flash.asp?id=5454&n=Kana+Trainer.swf&w=750&h=500
This swf in question.
If anyone of you out there is running the SD builds, could you please try for me and see if it works?
i believe there is an app in applanet can play swf files called swf player
Tried installing the AmeriCan android SD thingie, and the regular browser + Flash 10.2 plays it totally fine, no need for the swf player though
tried to open the .swf in stock browser on gingerbread and it played just fine and is working. Kinda small on a cell phone screen though .. hard to hit the small buttons
Convert swf file to android
My friend have recommended a perfect program to me, SWF Converter Mac, which can convert SWF files to any popular formats, the high quality and super speed satisfy me, now share it with you , hope it will help.
You can download a free trial on: swfconverter-mac.com
Adobe has released adobe flash player 11.4, which is compatible with all operating system. The funny thing to Firefox is that Adobe appears to have fixed the losing focus bug in the browser. The new version adds the following fixes and changes:
Fixed Issues:
- Netstream crashes intermittently on disconnect(3193417).
- Mouse Lock feature disabled after entering Full Screen Interactive mode.
- First frame of some live streaming contents freezes.
-Issue with CameraRoll.browseForImage causes transparency loss resulting in white color to the top.
New Features:
- ActionScript Workers.
- Sandbox Bridge support.
- Licensing support: Flash Player Premium Features for Gaming.
- Stage3D “constrained” profile for increased GPU reach.
- LZMA support for ByteArray.
- StageVideo attachCamera/Camera improvements.
- Compressed texture with alpha support for Stage3D.
Flash Player 11.4.402.265 requires an Intel-based Mac running Mac OS X 10.6 or later to install and run.
Mac doesn’t support some of other flash player. But some Mac devices users, like iphone 5users, ipod users want to watch flash videos on these devices. What should they do? Of course, there is always a way to solve a problem. A swf converter can really help you do that. That’s means the converter can convert swf to Mac compatible videos. It can convert swf to iphone 5 and convert swf to ipad. In addition, it can be a swf to avi converter.
With so much convenience, why not to download Adobe Flash player and SWF converter to have a try!
I haven't found an apk for flash that works yet. Has anyone else or for dolphin version 8.x or higher or the AOSP browser?
http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/archived-flash-player-versions.html

Nope. With the latest flash version (11.1.115.81), in desktop mode, the stock browser doesn't play videos at all for me either. In mobile browser mode, youtube videos will play, but not directly in the browser. An external player takes over ( with no option to choose).
Same scenario, but with Dolphin Mini, videos play directly in the browser each time.
Using Hulu, the stock browser and Dolphin Mini both play video clips within the browser window while in mobile mode. It seems to be a made for mobile browsing kind of video player. As soon as switch to desktop mode, both fail to play any videos. The stock browser complains that Adobe flash player isn't installed, while Dolphin Mini receives a system not supported message.
As far as flash content goes (games, ads, banners, etc), the stock browser isn't having any of it (mobile or desktop). It just won't display it.
Dolphin Mini handles banners and advertisements pretty well in both modes. I was also able to get this game to load beyond the play button screen quite a few times, but it crashed right after tapping start on every attempt.
I don't really know what the best methods are to test flash, but from what I'm seeing, we may be SOL for the time being.
Have you guys checked out the latest version of Maxthon browser?
I HATED this browser when i tried it years ago, but they totally re-wrote it and its pretty amazing!
plays flash beautifully as well,
