Here's a link to the thread for the Macromedia 7 Flash player:

Or, go directly here: Adobe - Flash Player 7 For Pocket PC

Use Skyfire, here's a thread I made..I watched a couple eps of smallville and heroes last week

Skyfire Working on Dell Axim x51v

Thanks for the answers!
BUT I successfully installed FLASHPLAYER 7 for mobile, but when I go to the TV site I want to watch it doesn't work. On the PC, after you click on the episode you want a new window opens with an arrow labeled "launch video" which you click on and the video begins.
On my x51v, I click on the episode title, a new page does appear, the words "launch video" appear, but where there should be a big arrow to start the video, is a little blanke rectangle with no hyperlink property. I'm sure the videos are flash cause when I right click on them I get the little box with the two lines of flash info as usual.
So the page isn't recognizing the Flash, I am running the factory IE in my Axim, and I installed the Flash into the device to keep things simple. Any thoughts on a way to activate the flash on that website? Or to type in a special address or something? I know little about flash etc, but I know it installed ok, it was a cab file ending in en, and it announced it installed successfully. I suspect there's some way to do this?

I also "successfully" installed the skyfire browser after flashplayer 7 wouldn't work with IE; skyfire didnt work either!
So I went to nbc mobile to try them out; nbc denied access to their clips!!!!lol HOW can that happen?

So flash 7 wouldn't work with the standard IE in my Axim x51v, nor would skyfire even after I unzipped those dumb 2 extras into windows as required.

Both programs claimed to install successfully, yet I can see no video except wmv in windows media player, which of course is nada.

I got so addicted to google earth on my axim, the colors and resolution are wonderful, now I MUST have TV!

I crave watching tv on surfthechannel or hulu, PLEASE some help with flash or direct me to some other browser or player that will play flash videos? BE MY HERO!
Thanks

It sucks, because everything is going flash, and there isnt a really good flash version for ppc.

I heard Adobe was hard at work for a desktop capable version of flash for the iphone, so hopefully if they ever get that done, they could port it to windows mobile, and we could get some decent flash.

Ppcs can play DVD quality video in TCPMP so if somebody ported flash right, im sure it would work a lot better. The problem is, that flash is a memory hog.

I know the "v" series axims could handle flash, b/c they got great video memory, but somebody would have to port it, or adobe would have to make a new version.
