Try using a different browser. I have Access Netfront 3.1, but haven't tried playing any flash movies yet.

Flash player is just an ActiveX control you need to give IE some information on how to play it. In this case a simple HTML file will do, simply paste the code below into notepad, change Whatever_your_Flash_File_is_called.swf to your swf's filename and save it as a .htm file then transfer it to the same directory as the swf. Now open the page in Pocket IE. If you want to change the size or quality then the values for this are clearly marked.
Code:
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>FlashPlayer</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY bgcolor="#53695C">
<OBJECT classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"
codebase="http://active.macromedia.com/flash2/cabs/swflash.cab#version=6,0,0,0"
 ID=rapier4  WIDTH=230 HEIGHT=255>
<PARAM NAME=movie VALUE="Whatever_your_Flash_File_is_called.swf">
<PARAM NAME=menu VALUE=false>
<PARAM NAME=quality VALUE=high>
<PARAM NAME=bgcolor VALUE=#53695C>
</OBJECT>
</BODY>
</HTML>

With the Macromedia player you need the .html file as well as the .swf file. Tap on the .html and the movie opens in Pocket Internet Explorer. There is a program out there that will grab the .html file for you but for the life of me I can't think of it's name. I think it's Chinese maybe?

thanks all, creating an html file worked. however, what of there are many 50+ flash files i'd like to keep on my card for periodical viewing? making a html file for each of them can be a pain.

ctitanic's PFlashP player doesn't cost that much. and it looks like you'll only need the .swf file.

Another shareware option would be FlashAssist by antmobile software.

I had the same problem as you Firenze. I have been using Bryht flash player - it has been stable and I like it.
One piece of advice if you use it. Switch your skin option to 640x480 skin.

Give this a try, it's a rough and ready translation of a Japanese program that I found. Some of the text was not translatable as I don't have proper Japanese language support on this PC, but it's free and seems to work OK.

Personally I think it's a bit cheeky to charge people for a front-end to someone elses software but the decision is up to you. There must be a bored .NET CF programmer lurking around here that could hack up a player in a couple of hours, anyone?

I tried this with a web based flash video, using an http based URL. The flash player window comes up, but no video is loaded. The same html works fine on my PC.

Worked for me. Thanks for the free version!!

I checked the japanese page and I think there's a newer version, too. But, I didn't know what to do after finding it.
