There isn't really any plugin architecture for mobile safari to support it. For a reason.

No you can't. Apple decided it wasn't needed on the iPad

There's a useful app called Skyfire- this acts like a proxy, converting flash stuff to work on iPhone/iPad/iPod touch etc.

Flash is the antichrist.

Apple decided it was not worthy of their customers.

...and Microsoft recently announced ditching it too.

adobe creative suite 5.5 has flash interface to HTML5 which works on on apple.

adobe has stopped development of flash as far as I recall... HTML5 is the way forward according to word on the street...

Thanks barnestom thats interesting I will look into it thanks

and thanks to all for your input

it's just those some things you can not open but if its deemed not safe and leads to trouble its not worth it

I found this from Mr Jobs about leaving Flash in the Past and the reasoning.

I think the only other way is to jailbreak the iPad, look it up on Google, there's loads about it.
