Is your iPad jailbroken? Most probably this is the first question you must answer before you get interested in installing Flash on your iPad. If your iPad is jailbroken and you feel that your iExperience is not complete at all without the Flash on it then all you have to do is have it installed.

The application is called Frash and it runs Flash in your iPad. It is still at an early development stage and doesn’t support video playbacks yet. For now, you can just run games and animations .The developer of this application most probably is still on the process of improving it to be able to support videos.
If you want to install Flash on your iPad, all you need is to follow these easy and simple steps
First, you need to download some files , just use search engines to find files and use the keywords provided for fast searching;
a) WinSCP for Windows user (keyword: WinSCP)
b) Netatalk for Mac user (keyword: Netatalk)
c) Frash.deb (keyword: Frash.deb)
d) Sprint (keyword: spiritjb)
Second step:
a) For Mac users, install Netatalk, this will automatically pop up your iPad in the Finder’s Sharing List
b) For Windows users, install and run OpenSSH on your iPad using WinSCP. Enter “root” as login name and “alpine” as the password.
At this point, you must be very careful since by this time you are already gaining access to your iPad’s system files.

- Open Media and create a folder and name it “Cydia”
