    I was wondering if I can get an app created for a flash games website, so my mobile visitors can play flash games with there phone, tablet etc.. as it is now, when you go to the flash games website to play a game..it will not play the games, it prompts you, that you need flash player. Which is not available on android or ios natively , so they just leave the site. I want my visitors to be able to play the games from these devices.. any thoughts?

    The games would have to be completely rewritten. Flash is a thing of the past and isn't supported on phones.

    I wouldn't say Flash is of the past. It's still very VERY current. In fact, one of the only practical way to stream a web cam from a web page. However, it isn't used as widely as it once was.

    Android DOES support flash. I have a flash player on my Android device. But it isn't worth playing a flash game. People won't.

    Android does support flash, but not natively, in browsers. You need a third-party browser (Dolphin, maybe?) which is able to play flash. There are other ways to run a streaming server, other than flash - it depends on what you want to do. You can, for instance, use VLC for the same purpose, without any use of Flash whatsoever. Flash is a thing of the past, in that it's less and less used, and that there are lots of new technologies being used and developed which doesn't use Flash at all.

    I would suggest building the games in HTML5. A tool that makes it easy to start making games is Construct 2 Game Maker
