Adobe AIR is the supported path for Android and iOS applications built on Flash technology. You're not going to be able to do this in a WebView or equivalent, because it would inherently need the Flash Plug-in, which doesn't exist for those platforms.

Even with AIR, you're not going to just be able to load in a web page with embedded Flash (we're exposing either a WebKit WebView or a native WebView, both of which lack a Flash Player plug-in).

AIR isn't my area of expertise, but in essence, you'd need to adapt the content to play in the context of your AIR application (e.g. skip the whole browser altogether and just import the contents of the ActionScript and other assets that are compiled into that SWF), or just rebuild the content as HTML/JavaScript, at which point you could use your WebView approach.

Adobe Animate CC supports output to HTML Canvas for simple Flash animations, assuming you have access to the source materials like .fla files and related assets
