Though I have loaded flash (initially 10.2 and now 10.3) and can play a flash movie from YouTube, I cannot play the downloaded version of the same movie - there does not seem to be an association to the .flv filetype.
Any solutions other than transcoding to mp4?
Thanks

There are flv players in the market. Simply search for flv player.
I have the lg optimus v, which is not flash compatible phone based on things that I have read. I changed the build.prop file on my phone so that I could get hulu & crackle from the market. I was able to download both of them & get them to start running, but crackle is telling me that I need flash & won't play any video. I'm able to look at videos on hulu & it uses flash. Is there a reason why crackle is making me download flash while hulu, which also uses flash, is playing videos for me? Does hulu convert the flash like skyfire does?

Try to install adobe flash player.
Flv is not flash (swf is).
OP, download a 3rd party player from the market. I recommend: vlc and rockplayer.

Yes it is. Flash video content can be embedded in .flv files or .swf files.
Edit - OP: You can either use one of the players F-R suggested, or if you really want to install/use Flash, look at this thread. There's also a link in that thread for detailed instructions on how install on JB (don't know if it works or not/haven't tried it as I'm not running JB).

Flv is a video format. Flash is a programm.

Yes. I'm aware of what Adobe Flash is. And I'm also aware that .flv is a video format. What you don't seem to be aware of/understand is that Flash video content can be imbedded in file types .flv and .swf. In other words, if I've got Flash installed, I can view content in either format (and as you pointed out you can use 3rd party apps to view .flv files as well).
So if I install Adobe Flash (as opposed to a 3rd party app), I can view Flash content on websites directly in my browser without having to **** around with other apps (I use Firefox & manually installed the Flash apk & confirm this works flawlessly).
Mx player works great too..
Maybe annoying with the ads, but you'll get used to it (unless you wnat to pay for it)
VLC player handles some .flv files. The official version is in beta at the moment but is perfectly usable in my experience.
thanks for replying.
I've installed flash player and now browser supports swf files playing, but not flv. also installed vlc and rockplayer(and many players) as you said but no result. I am trying to play flv videos like http://depositfiles.com/files/xxdod800p . how about playing this video with swf player in browser?

Youtube uses flv right? And that is working?
BSPlayer plays the file but i can only here someone talking(black screen)
I found the solution to this problem. I renamed the format of this video - flv to swf and opened this file in browser and bingo, browser played this flash swf file.

The stock video player on SII is great it can play even flv but that depens on the codec used in the flv. Some flv videos can be played with the stock others flv videos can. You can do two things.
1. (harder way) convert the video to mp4 galaxy s2 format (search on google for galaxy s2 video converter, like imtoo its good and etc.)
2.(easy way) install third party video player from playstore The good ones are BS Player and MX Player, but BS player is better because you can change the theme and it has better user friendly interface. And with BS player you can get popup video and play songs (you can use it like music player)
hey i have a web application which converts swf to apk. the basic working of that web app is pulling the swf inside a adobe flash player and make a swf game work on android device. it is working so far but it is not working on android devices on top level like s4 and s5( android version higher than 4.2). is there any way i can use this adobe plugin to run flash on these top end devices?
