No, unfortunately it doesn't. The flash player has very limited usefulness because it only plays .swf files and I can't figure out how to use arrow keys even with an IR keyboard or the 5-way navigator (I don't think it's possible), so you can basically use only mouse-exclusive flash files (You can type using the DIA, but most games don't use letters to move anything).

And the Flash Player can only play up to Flash 5, so most flash games (Anything new at all) will not play. I was excited about this app at the start, but I haven't used it for months (It is currently just taking up space on my T3). I would love to play Defend Your Castle on my Palm, and it would be perfect because it is (literally) drag-and-drop, but it won't work even with decompression of the flash files.

Good luck to anyone who tries it!

I downloaded the flash player for palm (to my TX) from www.palmpowerups.com. (http://www.palmpowerups.com/downloa...&download_id=20)
I installed it.
Great.
Now what?
Now no matter where I put the .swf files, the flash player on my TX tells no media files found!
I tried sending the swf files via Palm Quick Install & Hot sync but that failed as it refused to send the files to my Palm TX telling there was no software on my TX to play the files!
Then I send the swf files using card export and tried various folders but still no use. The flash player tells " No Contents"
Does it want the swf files in any specific folder ?

Yes, put the .swf files in Palm/programs/MMflash folder (you need to create the MMflash folder).
For me, the flash player for palmOS is very,very,very slooooow, for me, it's useless, but if you want to try it, go ahead...

Sorry for my english (i'm brazillian)

IIRC the flash player can only play up to flash version 5 correctly.
