I simply installed via es file explorer the apk file for the last of the android flash apk's from the adobe archive. I can view flash videos in the boat browser and some other browsers as well...

 

I'm probably a little late on this but if you install Dolphin Browser and (not sure if you need both but think so) and Jet Pack you can set as "desktop" and do anything on the Nexus that you can on a laptop.

 

haven't worked with any .swf files yet, sorry

 

many mobile systems and browsers dont allow access to local or native files. It is some sort of security risk.

back in my webos days we had a hack for this, but I haven't been interested in it for my android stuff.

why not get a .swf to other common video converter and convert the files on a desktop, and then view them???
