Adobe stopped supporting flash on mobile devices, but you can still download archived versions from their website.

Should just be a matter of installing it from your downloads... Downloading now so will see exactly what the steps are

Once you've downloaded and installed the apk, just use a browser as you normally would.
I'm not sure if the stock browser supports flash or not, but I do know that older versions of Dolphin have been said to support it and Firefox still supports it for sure.
I currently use Firefox, for flash websites. On Firefox, all you need to do is make sure plug-ins are enabled.

?...In order for it to apply, you'd have to download a apk. Did you scroll down to where it says Android 4.0 archive files?
To make it easier for you, this is the file at the top of the android archive list (direct URL link to the APK):
http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/installers/archive/android/11.1.115.63/install_flash_player_ics.apk

Ok I downloaded it and it looked like it Completed. But I went to a website and someone posted a video and it still says we're the video should be 'a plug in is need to view this content' or something like that. Hmmm

Did you install it? Go to the downloads folder and select the file and follow instructions to use the installer. If it is still there you could click on the download complete notification.

From a pc/mac browser or from browser on phone? Should work from a pc/mac, but if you can't get it to work on the phone, just go to the link posted earlier http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/archived-flash-player-versions.html and when that loads up, just scroll down until you see the list under Android 4.0 archive. It's the first URL under that category

Ever since I downloaded the new flash version I can't seem to get any YouTube videos to load in any webpages? It's just a blank square were the video should be

But they loaded up prior to installing the flash apk? If so, uninstall the apk. Not sure why it would've prevented anything from working that actually worked before.

I think I tried that and the old version crashed all the time.
I use dolphin beta and flash still works.

The new Dolphin doesn't support Flash. You have to get an archived version, in order for it to work...or just switch to Firefox, which does work.

I'm trying to delete it but can't find the apk file.. just the installer file.
Ya before I tried the upgrade some little things on web pages weren't loading correctly but now with the update no embedded videos are working. Just a big empty square were they should be. Weird indeed

If you installed the apk, then it should show up in your "manage apps" area and you can uninstall from there. Just deleting the file won't do anything.

Yup. Just downloaded and uninstalled Firefox. I forgot how much I like Dolphin's setup. Although, I must say that I hate that jetpack add-on. It takes away the top URL bar staying on top of the screen, while scrolling through a page. That has to be one of my favorite parts of Dolphin.
Tested it and it does seem to work.
