flash on Kindle Fire HD?

My wife recently got a Kindle Fire HD and now wants to be able to play some Flash games on it.

The Kindle store has apps that will open either SWF files or FLV files from a file browser. Is this all I need??

I can't seem to be able get anything useful from the google play store because it recognizes that the Kindle is not a google device.

Attempts to download the .apk files and an alternate browser have me redirected to the google store.

Any advice or solution Greatly Appreciated !!

    Flash no longer comes with new tablets, as Adobe wants to make it obsolete and have it replaced with new technology. However, many people still find the need of Flash on their tablets so they found some alternative solution. Yes, you can sideload Flash and another browser on the Kindle, here's the detailed instruction:

    You have to download the APK files using your tablet, and install them on it.

    For Google Play, you can sideload many of their apps on the Kindel Fire too. Here you can find details on this:
