I can't view my swfs in linux. Not sure if this is rare or not.

I run debian 8. Use flash projector, that's what finally worked for playing local swfs for me.
https://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/updaters/26/flash_player_sa_linux.x86_64.tar.gz
I was able to get a browser plugin to work prior to that but unable to play local stuff until I
got projector installed.

If by "my swfs" you mean flashes locally stored in your computer (as opposed to the ones here or
on another website) and you're using firefox, then this could help:
https://askubuntu.com/questions/478169/why-cant-firefox-run-local-swf-files
It worked for me around 7-8 months back, then a firefox update rolled and it hasn't worked since.
Maybe you'll have better luck.
If that fails I know for a fact that both konqueror and chrome work fine for offline swfs, but at
that point you might be better off with what >>3265370
said.

If you want to play your flash files locally, have a look at the program Gnash. That usually
works for me.

Why the fuck you won't use Windows and just be done with it, I'll never know, but your problem

Flash Player?
Also, Boat Browser if viewing /f/.
Note that it is buggy as shit though.
Focus issues mainly. And an old version of flash. (I think like, single digits, not even V10 or
over)
If there is keyboard interaction, you can sort of do it with virtual keyboards by using keyboards
that let you open them anywhere.
Hackers Keyboard is great for that. But it will be painfully slow, not for actiony keyboard-based
games, just typing.

If you can't see yourself because your mirror is broken, don't blame Windows.

I have installed a flash player but I can't open flashes saved in the device
for browsing purposes I uses puffin but I can't browse files with it like with chrome or firefox
on android and I can't open .swfs with it as well
I'll try the boat browser

What file browser do you use for browsing Android files?
I've used both TotalCommander and Fx and both work with saved flash files in Flash Player.
Of course, I also installed a web server and moved all the flash files there.
Easier to open in browser and generally more functional.
Plus, with it in the browser, you can embed your files in an HTML page then anchor an HTML div
over the top of the page so you can resize the page if you need to zoom in. (admittedly only ever
used that on Flockdraw)
Biggest issue, especially with Flockdraw and Drawball, is it doesn't work too well with tap and
hold.
In drawball it is even worse because the flash size is fixed at a certain resolution, which is
SMALLER than the screen of my tablet.
When it is like that, it scrolls the whole UI based on where the mouse is, but the flash player
on Android doesn't work well enough to be able to detect hovering a stylus over it, so the
instant you click, the whole UI centers on that click. Shits jarring as fuck man.
Not that it matters, Drawball is basically dead now. Chaosball is RIP and Drawball is a wasteland.
Good night, sweet prince.

I'm using ES file explorer pro but you can browse the files with chrome when you type
file:///sdcard but sadly chrome doesn't support swf so it only downloads them (from my sdcard to
my sdcard smfh) and when in ES file explorer I choose "open with..." it doesn't show the puffin
browser icon which can play all the swfs I tried
I'll try total commander and see how it goes

Tried Boat, doesn't work with local browsing sadly.
Can't even send a file from a file-browser to Boat, doesn't show in the list.
One thing I just tested was opening it in an app I use.
It's called Floating Apps Free, has loads of apps that can float on top of stuff.
One of them is a floating browser.
In TotalCommander, I hold-click on the flash file, then Send To, then Floating Browser.
That works. Sadly it doesn't let you browse from the address bar. But this works 100%.
Floating Apps Free is also really fucking useful too. Has image viewers, simple paint editor,
flashlight accesss, browser, countdown & stopwatch, calculator, sound recorder, etc.
The paid version has some other shit, like social sites and stuff. Free version is top-tier
though.

if they carry armor piercing anti-tank rifles it's both super effective and cheap. which is what
they did.

what's supposed to happen when you send it to floating apps browser from total commander? because
it doesn't do nothing

Loads up in the floating browser for me.
Do you have flash installed separately from browsers?
The manual process in
https://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/installing-flash-player-android-devices.html
I think it requires it being installed to work.

Weird, that doesn't make sense.
Not sure why it would be doing that.
Weirdly, I don't even see the Flash player in the list.
My flash files, by default, somehow open with Jump VNC viewer lol wat
Android is hands-down the worst fucking OS man. Such a disaster.
Shit is so broken all over the place.
The new system that is rolling out in the most recent Android is too late, the entire ecosystem
is fucked with loads of different outdated versions on top.
I can't see it lasting much longer. I think Google will replace it with a new OS. Android is too
fucked to fix.

well it's hundred times better than iOS I'll just have to figure out another way to play it,
that's all

See, I used to think that, but at least iOS is cohesive and consistent.
Android is just full-retard most of the time.
Only advantage Android has over it is the fact it is open source. (and rootable to install said
alternatives)
But even that is becoming nothing because many handset manufacturers have been making it nigh
impossible to root.
Google seem hellbent on anti-rooting Android too, which is worrying since they (bought and) built
the thing up.
I'd still never use iOS though. Fuck that babby OS.

I've actually not got any installed.
I mainly just use my tablet for drawing, remote controlling PCs and taking notes, maybe doing
some code here and there, and watching or listening to stuff.
I mean, admittedly I do have some stuff saved on external SD card, weird shit from /d/ mostly.
(and even then, that is mainly for drawing reference)

Yep, Linux really has it all together.
Not like that shitty Windoze, or even Mac-n-cheese... basic shit like flash and native file
handling simply Just Works.

To say that is the fault of Linux is wrong.
Linux is the basic foundations of the OS.
Android is the shitheap built around Linux with is horrific file structure, process model and so
on.
Purely the fault of the Android devs.
Even most Linux distributions aren't as fucking retarded as Android is.
