For a very long time, Apple products especially its iPhone series (range from the first generation to iPhone 5) have always been come out on top with thousands of millions fans. iPhone 5, as the latest version, is really something we should talk about. Comparing with the model iPhone 4S, iPhone 5 has got a larger display screen with a higher video resolution. It can be run for much longer thanks to the better quality battery. The biggest highlight of iPhone 5 is that it is based on the iOS 6 operating system which has got lots of advantages over the iOS 5. Despite so many wonderful new features being added to iPhone 5, iPhone 5 fans will still be disappointed. Why? Simply because something’s missing in iPhone 5—the SWF Flash support! From the first iPhone model to the latest one, iPhone users have been hoping that Apple would add the support to SWF Flash on its products just like Samsung Galaxy S3 and Nokia Lumia 900 do; however, all that they get is nothing but disappointment. Since iPhone 5 fails to support Adobe Flash, it is a tough task when comes to the playback of Flash on iPhone 5 freely.
Actually, there are three ways to play SWF Flash video files on iPhone 5. They are listed and explained as below.
1. Using the Apple App
Firstly, you can use the Skyfire, which’s approved by Apple, serving as a Flash video-enabled web browser for iPhone(iPhone 5 included). You can purchase it in iTunes APP Store and it will help to convert the SWF Flash files to HTML5, allowing you to view the content freely. Unluckily, it cannot support all of the Flash content, say, the game Flash video files.
2. Jail Breaking
To conduct the jail breaking, please follow the below instructions: install OpenSSH -> download, install and set up Cyber duck for Mac or WinSCP for Windows -> download Frash-0.02.deb file -> navigate to /var/root/Media directory and create a folder named “Cydia” -> create another folder named Auto Install inside Cydia -> copy the Frash-0.02.deb file to folder Auto Install -> restart and enjoy Flash on iPhone 5.
3.Convert SWF Flash to Video via the third-party software
If you would like to play SWF Flash video files directly on iPhone 5 with the original video/audio/image kept, it is the best to transcode SWF to the acceptable video format by iPhone 5 like MP4 with the help of a professional SWF Video Converter. The steps of the conversion is quite simple: import the SWF Flash videos, choose output video format, customize the video files optionally and start the conversion.
