Okay so here's the thing, I do hear audio, but I don't see any video...but I also don't know why I have to be on a specific browser in order to have flash enabled, but its a start...

Nope, I just tried it for the stock browser and nothing.....

this has gone above my level of help mate sorry. i honestly dont have a clue why it isnt working. i doubt its a fault with the s3 software though since its Adobe software that should make it work.
good luck with it man. dont give up

Thanks very much for your help, i appreciate it.

I'm in stock. Accidentally in incognito mode.

I wonder why it won't work. All I did was open up the flash player app. It asked me if I wanted to go to stick internet or chrome. I chose stock. Somehow it activated the flash or whatever. I went to the stock browser opened up the site. It started playing. Try refreshing.

If that didn't work then it may be the version of flash player you have.

There is something called dolphin browser it has a flash player plug in you can download. There something cashed sky fire as well. I use it for flash videos on my iPad. It has flash but only for videos. You can't play games and all that.

yeah he uses dolphin mate. lol i remember Skyfire from when i had a phone that wasnt capable of flash... its horrible
my final suggestions are...
1) try rebooting...
2) try uninstalling and re-installing flash

 

[sammiagalac]

Well that's what I'm going to have to do, I supposedly have the latest version of flash that I downloaded, maybe it's the time the I purchased my phone??

lol. when i used to use skyfire on an arm6 android that flash doesnt support, it worked but it wouldnt pause or fast-forward vids so if someone rang you 50mins into a 60min vid... you had to watch it from the start again lol....

So how do I reboot the phone?

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Android Central Forums

just hold down the power button and tap RESTART mate

....or if you dont have the update with the "restart" option yet, just tap POWER OFF and then switch it on once it shuts down. reboot just means switch off then on again mate

 

[sammiagalac]

Okay then, but this wouldnt erase all of my data right?

[sammiagalac]

if reboot doesnt make it work then uninstall flash (ill tell you how to do that if you dont know) and then download it again

 

[sammiagalac]

And yea the reboot didn't help at all. So I have to uninstall it..

I've had issues with flash on old phones coming to a beta CM7 build- what I did to fix it was un install flash and the Internet browser I use (Opera in my case). Reboot the phone then reinstall flash and Opera.

I'm on flash 11.1.115.12
