So I flashed froyo and started looking for flash player to test it. In Market I managed to find some Adobe Showcase but that isn't flash player runtime. I went to adobe's website and followed the link to download the player. It redirected me to Market but I got a message saying that the item wasn't found.
What to do next ?
Had the latest Opera and Flash before root. Flash worked on stock browser AND Opera.
Rooted.
Opera does not play flash. Stock browser does.
Any suggestions/ideas? Thanks.
Did you enable it in settings?
What Rom you use?
Flash Version?
I dont think its the issue of rooting.. I have just today noticed the same on my not-rooted TF !
Opera no Flash, stock browser ok ... Do you think it has sth to do with the Flash 11 update ?

I'm glad I'm not the only one having the issue.
I'm rooted, flash enabled in opera, and on Prime ROM, flash being latest version.
I've also noticed dolphin and stock browser play flash in lower quality, despite the setting I use. the lines are always pixelated. Speed is decent. perhaps this offers clues.
Flashh 11 does not work here as well. Unrooted, Stock.
It seems Opera won't work with the latest Flash. I tried some older versions, and only 10.3 worked, so for those of you who want Flash in Opera (or for stock browser for any reason), getting the 10.3 would be ideal for now until the 11 version works this bug out.
I tried to upload the file but this just isn't letting me so google "android flash 10.3" and a few other words if you're eager and download a 10.3 apk. It's the best advice I can offer.
WARNING: Did that on my rooted, flashed TF and flash is working in Opera again. But not in Stock browser. Can't see why, but ah well. I use Opera anyway.

This worked for me, thanks!
On my stock unrooted TF Flash now works in Opera AND in the stock browser ..
I suppose sooner or later Opera is going to come out with a fix for this Flash 11 issue.
Just a bit of advice for people looking for the apk (as i cannot post links either) - google "flash player 10.3 android apk download" and its the link on free-mobile-messenger.com
Does someone have a direct link to flask 10.3. Everything that I have found directs me to flash player 11?
I have also noticed another issue after rooting which I did on the 5th. I can no longer log into XDA. It takes my password & redirects me but I am prompted again when I try to post. What the hell is up with that. Works fine from my PC.

That worked for me but I am still unable to log into XDA from Transformer.
Opera does not help you with issues unless you pay them to be a "member" so I sent a message to Adobe regarding this issue and got the following in response;
Hi,
Thanks for taking the time to write us a note. Our goal is to improve Flash Player with each release.
We don’t support Opera at this time. They may have figured out how to make Flash Player work in the browser (to some degree), but we're not partnering with them directly at this time. We need deeper integration into the Android OS than they can provide as a client application, which is why we're focused on supporting the built-in browser.
We are interested in the video playback use-case. Based on the problem you're describing, we've switched behaviors — we're either trying to use the built-in hardware video decoder on your device to view a stream it doesn't like, or we're reverting to software video decoding where we used to leverage your device's hardware video decoder.
Before giving up entirely, I'd recommend installing Flash Player, loading some Flash content in your browser, then rebooting your device. The first time you use Flash Player after it installs, it downloads a config file specific to your device that customizes the hardware video decoding behavior and a couple other things. If you've got an app in the background that's invoking Flash Player and keeping it running, it won't get a chance to reload with that config file in place.
If you're still stuck, the following information would be very helpful:
(From Settings > About Phone)
Model:
Android Version:
Kernel Version:
Build:
Also, please send us a direct link to a video that's demonstrating the problem. We'll be happy to look into it.

That is great! Except for that fact that it is most videos won't play.
Need help getting around lack of flash player on the new note. Haven't seen much here or elsewhere that hints or describes much of a solution. Any help or suggestions on how i can get flash working in the browser would be appreciated.
I installed the latest version of adobe flash player I pulled from my Galaxy S2 phone and installed on my Note. Everything seems to work fine.....back to watching porn again, lmao.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA
Here is a link to the newest version of flash from the Adobe website...
http://download.macromedia.com/pub/...roid/11.1.115.17/install_flash_player_ics.apk
Install... You may need to select unknown sources in settings (it will tell you...)
Reference - http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/archived-flash-player-versions.html
I downloaded it from the playstore
Word is, if you go to the Play Store in the browser ON YOUR PC, you can find Flash and click Install and choose your Note as the device to install it on.
This is how to work around the Flashplayer NOT working after you download the APK. <<USING FIREFOX>>
1-Go to "more" in your Android settings
2-Tap security
3-Check the unknown sources, make sure it is allowed
Download the Flashplayer APK--Cut or copy this into the google search----> archived flash player versions
Click the first search result which should be titled "Archived Flash Player Versions"
Scroll all the way down until you reach Flash Player 4.0 archives. Of course you can keep scrolling until you find the appropriate APK for your Andriod OS.
**make sure you download the APK on to your Android device**
---------------------------------------- Make sure the above steps are correctly done-----------------------------------------
When the above steps are completed correctly and you can view the Flash Player Icon on your phone click it
It should open a webpage and say "Plugin Not enabled" If it DOES NOT you don't need to continue READING.
If it gives you an error message, USING FIREFOX
Go to Display in the FIREFOX menu
Then Tap Plugins
Then choose "Tap to Play"
Close FIREFOX. Now it should work for any Flash Player content.
IF you find complications message me or post on this thread
Thank you.
Hi,
Thank you for the contribution. This is where you should be posting this though, since its not device specific ...

Thanks!
Thanks
Thanks for the help.
You can used Dolphil Browser. This browser supported flash player. You can playing web-game.
So I visited just about every thread on XDA and on AndroidForums and I could not find anything.
KitKat doesn't come with the Adobe Flash Player API's, however a while ago I heard something about someone making a flashable .zip containing the API's. Can I grab the API's from Jelly Bean and just paste them into whatever folder they would go in? If so, what files?

You can't create a flashable zip and sideload them. Google Chrome will never support flash plugins or applets.
Only browsers like Dolphin or UC would support them.
For those browsers to support flash, Download here:

I thought that KitKat was missing API's to even run anything Flash related. I also read in an updated version of Dolphin there was an error message saying that the feature was disabled because Android no longer supported Flash.

Try the latset version of Dolphin, flash still works fine after I updated. BTW, make sure you have the correct flash settings，check here-https://dolphinbrowser.desk.com/customer/en/portal/articles/1365878-how-do-i-enable-the-flash-player-in-android-4-0-?b_id=317
