Chrome for android does not support flash

https://developers.google.com/chrome/mobile/docs/faq

What version of Flash is supported on Chrome for Android?: Chrome for Android will not be supporting Flash. As you may have seen in November, 2011, Adobe announced it has stopped investing in Flash for mobile browsing. Google has long been committed to making the web platform more powerful through open web technologies like HTML5 and is working with Adobe and other partners to further advance the web standard.

you will have to use another browser if you want to have access to flash content

also this might be good news

I tried downloading Opera and it did not seem to work either. However on my Xperia Go I have no problem streaming... wiziwig.tv. I stream sport for africa and asia and it does not seem to work on my xperia z. I understand that flash does not work for chrome but what about Opera or firefox.

try skyfire also you will have to download flashplayer from adobe directly but this dubious streams are not going to be supported as you need flash

I use the default browser and have had no issues viewing anything on the net - flash is almost dead these days - it's more of less no longer required

your question has already been answered

Crome Does Not Support Flash if you want to know why then ask google - your option is to install another browser that supports Flash - Are we done here ?

i would like to help you but I'd be going through the same process as you so I think it would be better for you to do it - do a little research and reading and see what turns up - come back and share your findings

Hey Crumpler, the Flash Player does not ship with Jelly Bean, BUT you can download the 4.49MB APK from the XDA Devs website, install it on your phone, and bob's your uncle! Here you go;

I installed it on my Z, and it works perfectly. After installing the Flash APK, I installed Firefox and the Ad Block extension for Firefox Mobile, to prevent ads and pop-ups.

The Flash Player APK will have no effect on Chrome - I repeat - Chrome will not play flash, regardless of whether you install this or not.

Worked best for me using Firefox with the Ad Block extension. Works on Dolphin, but Dolphin doesn't have a pop-up blocker.

I can now stream F1, soccer, rugby, whatever I want, perfectly, on my Xperia Z.

Makes you wonder why they left it out in the first place...!

Hey nikhil - you've linked to an older version from July 2012 - I've linked to the most recent version of the Flash Player APK from October 2012 - works perfectly.
