Cannot Play Flash Videos on Phone

Adobe, the creator and owner of Flash, is no longer supporting/updating Flash for phones. Please note there are third-party apps that will display Flash videos; however, we cannot recommend a third-party app.

Statement from Adobe

 "We announced last November that we are focusing our work with Flash on PC browsing and mobile apps packaged with Adobe AIR, and will be discontinuing our development of the Flash Player for mobile browsers.  This post provides an update on what this means for ongoing access to the Flash Player browser plugin for Android in the Google Play Store.

Beginning August 15, 2012 we will use the configuration settings in the Google Play Store to limit continued access to Flash Player updates to only those devices that have Flash Player already installed. Devices that do not have Flash Player already installed are increasingly likely to be incompatible with Flash Player and will no longer be able to install it from the Google Play Store after August 15th."
