Kindle Fire HD / Flash player ????

I have the brand new Kindle Fire HD...I went to watch a video...it said I needed to download flash player.  Here's what I've done so far:
1) tried to download -  No luck
2) checked for "settings" to enable flash - no "flash" listed
3) changed settings from "requested view" to both "mobil and desktop" -  No luck
I'm getting frustrated...what now can I do ?   Do you have an app that I can use to download it ?  What do I try now ?      Please help.

As you've noticed, Flash is not available for the new Kindle Fire HD.  However, some users have been able to work around this by using alternative browsers like Dolphin.

    There is no more Flash Player for Android and there won't be another. Android is no longer compatible with Flash Player since June of 2012. That WON'T change.
    Historically:
    2008 (March) - Apple® releases the first iPhone, using iOS®. Steve Jobs is insistent and adamant that iOS® is NOT compatible with Flash® and NEVER WILL BE. Jobs' reasoning is that playing Flash® content is processor consumptive and it drains batteries, thus shortening the life of them in mobile devices. In six years, that hasn't changed. Not for the iPhone®, iPad® or iPod® Touch™. It never will change and there never will be a Flash Player® for iOS®.
    2008 (September) - Google® introduces Android™ to compete with iOS®, for people who don't want to pay what Apple® is asking for an iPhone®. Android®, unlike its Apple® counterpart IS compatible with Flash®.
    2012 (June) - Android™ (Google®) announces the end of support for Flash® with Android™ 4.3. Going forward NO Android™ devices will be compatible with Flash®, but older versions on older devices can still be loaded with "legacy" builds still available from Adobe®. Android™ (Google®) cites the same reason Apple® did for the decision to end support for Flash®. Adobe® continues to release security patches to Flash Player® for Android™ until September 2013, announcing the "end of life" for Android™ Flash® September 10.
    Android (Google) recommends you use either Dolphin or Puffin as your browser if you must view Flash content, but they try to discourage it for the above outlined reasons.

  • Why is it that Kindle fire supports flash in the USA and not UK?

    Why is it that Kindle fire supports flash in the USA and not UK? This is ridiculous and annoying

    In silk the US version gives you the opportunity to enable or disable flash, it doesn't exist in the UK one. Speaking to amazon.com they can't understand why it's not there but speaking to amazon.co.uk they say kindle doesn't support flash. As a result my daughter can't view any flash websites, specifically the homework website we were intending her to be able to use on her new kindle. Total waste of money.

  • Download Adobe Flash Player to an Android Tablet

    I have a new Asus TF700T tablet woth Android 4.0 O/S
    When opening the installed "Browser" I get this message: "No Adobe Flash Player found. Press OK to download" OK.
    I am redirected to Google Play store where Adobe Flash Player is not to be found.
    So, using the tablet still, I go to www.Adobe.com and search "Adobe Flash Player for Android". only to get this message "We're sorry. This content requires Adoble Flash Player which is not supported on your device. This content can be viewed on a desktop computer or on a mobile device that supports Flash Player'.
    So I'm in a bind. I can't get AFP because I haven't already got AFP. As Asus has included the browser in its pre-loaded software I don't believe it doesn't support AFP.
    I therefore seek advice please. I am totally unfamiliar with Android but useful with Windows up to 7.

    Android DROPPED all aupport for Flash last summer. Adobe ended all development of Flash for Android shortly thereafter.
    "Why can't I install Flash Player on my Tablet?" (Kindle or Samsung Galaxy)
    That FAQ article details what I was told by Samsung and Kindle support regarding Flash Player for Android tablets.
    There are plenty of articles online that will give instructions on how to "sideload" Flash Player, but neither Adobe nor Amazon or Google support "sideloading", and no on here can endorse it or instruct you on how to do it.

  • Why can't I install the flash player on my Kindle Fire???

    I have tried several times to install the flash player on my Kindle Fire but it keeps telling me there is an issue opening the download. How am I able to download it yet am unable to install it. It makes no sense to me why it would be able to download yet not be able to open the installation. Is this a problem that is being fixed? I've tried to "troubleshoot" this issue myself but there is little information on it. If the Kindle Fire is unable to install the Adobe Flash player then there needs to be some changes made either on your companies part or Amazons. There are apps offered on the Kindles that need this flash player in order to operate. If you could back to me with an answer as soon as possible I would greatly aprreciate it. Thank you.

    Hi,
    Although we continue to provide security and patch releases for Android devices which originally shipped with Adobe Flash Player, new feature development for the Android browser has drawn to a close as we shift our focus to Adobe AIR for mobile applications. For more details on the rationale for our decision I refer you to the following article.
    http://blogs.adobe.com/conversations/2011/11/flash-focus.html
    The following article describes how to manually install the Adobe Flash Player manually on your Android device.

    Another alternative is to install the SkyFire browser, which appears to support Flash Video.

  • Adobe Flash player doesn't support  the new android type devices such as my new Kindle Fire but i understand they are going to have an app out for these devices this year. Any idea on when that will be?

    I understand Adobe Flash player will have out an app to download to the newer android devices such as Kindles that they stopped supporting a couple of years ago soon. Any idea when this will be? Thanks.

    Hello,
    We don't have any plans for a new version of Flash Player for Android.  That said, some users have been able to get Flash Player working on the Kindle Fire by using third party browsers.

    Android recommends using either "Dolphin" or Puffin" as your browser (BOTH are free in the GooglePlay store). They use "server side rendering" of Flash content to reduce the load on your Android device.

  • My kindle fire isnt playing video... and im having problems trying to download adobe flash player

    My kindle fire isn't playing video.. specifically you tube... and I can't seem to download flash player correctly.

    And if your Kindle is new (made after May 2012) you can't use Flash Player, according to Amazon Support
