Since Kindle Fire is unveiled with "Adobe Flash Support"->"Yes", many friends are glad this must-be popular gadget should support Adobe Flash and simultaneously wonder is it really fully support Adobe flash so we can visit our favourite flash website, log flash game wen site and play flash movies freely.

Here is the problem we meet from amazon kindle fire forum:

1. I was wondering if anyone that has a Fire in hand could comment on the quality of the flash support. Specifically, I am interested if it will support a site like www.friv.com (kids flash game site).

2. Trying to watch Fringe streaming from fox.com and the browser kept crashing. Couldn't get it to restart from the point I left off. The program would start at about 45 minutes in and then the video would freeze and apparently the Flash player would crash leaving just a circle with the > Play icon where the program should be and where the ad banner on the page should be. I'll give it a few more tries and if no luck I'll be returning it.

3. The browser supports flash, so as long as you use Facebook from that and not from the Facebook app the games should be playable. Whether they will be fun to play on the 7" screen remains to be seen though.

4. Club Penguin crashes the browser. I looked up a flash update but it doesn't seem to exist yet. Ill keep trying other sites to see if its just the kids games that are a problem.

How to play flash on Kindle Fire smoothly?

So the answer is after you use your Kindle Fire Silk browse try the wen site, if it is ok, then it's ok. If it crashes or breeze when playing, we can't impute all the responsibility to Amazon Kindle Fire as Android devices is making effort to fully support flash constantly. YouTube didn't show a claim to cooperate with Amazon like Netflix, Hulu, Pandora, so to play flash on Kindle Fire is not a completely solved thing so far.

If you are a loyal flash movie fans and much hope to play flash videos on Kindle Fire but meet above problem, then we recommend you to use Flash to Kindle Fire Converter for Mac.
