Flash will never make it on an Apple mobile device. Period.

Seriously. It will never make it onto an Apple device, in my opinion. Points below are across both Flash Apps and Flash in the browser.
- Flash has its own scripting language and Apple does not want people to be able to do this. Mainly to protect the device from intrusion (lots of personal data on these devices) and performance degradation. You could build an App in Obj-C at the same rate as a Flash one.
- Flash on websites will be be dead in a year. The only thing going for Flash at the moment is video but that will be long dead when HTML 5 hits mainstream. Also the HTTP streaming protocol that Apple made is ‘effing awesome. I want it to be the new streaming method everywhere. CSS3 animations and better Javascript will kill advertising.
- Its cumbersome and not as fast as an app you would build with native code on the device.
- No UI Guidelines for App’s made with Flash.
- 1 Site, 5 Flash Ads on a mobile device == performance fail. Now multiply that over X amount of tabs you have open.
Please tell everyone you know that Flash on mobile devices in general is a bad idea and that it wont matter in a years time. HTML 5 with the video tag and browser based players along with CSS 3 animations and better Javascript will kill Flash. As for game making in Flash, Getting Started with Graphics & Animations.
