I have an Samsung adroid tablet.  after a recent software update by Google I can no longer run videos from various sites that I was able to before.  I got a message that I needed Flash player.  went to the sight and downloaded the lastest version for Android.  now when I go to a sight and try to run the videos, first it starts loading, then buffering and then I am kicked out of the internet totally and returned to the home page of my tablet.  this happened on several websites.  Youtube works without any issues.  I called Samsung support and they said that Adboe no longer supports Android products.  Is this true?  I even tried installing a lower version of flash player and that gave the same results.  does anyone have a suggestion for me? is this permanent or is Adobe working on something for Android prodcts?

Samsung support LIED to you.

Android (not Adobe) dropped all support for Flash last summer. Adobe stopped development after that because there was no sense in continuing to make a product that's incompatible with all future releases of Android OS.

Look into "Dolphin" to use as a browser with Android.
