No, there is no Flash player for the iPhone, nor is there any indication that Apple is going to ever have Flash on its iDevices.
Here's an article Steve Jobs wrote about Flash back in 2010: Thoughts on Flash
And, here's an article that talks about how Adobe itself is "killing" flash: Jobs Was Right: Adobe Abandons Mobile Flash, Backs HTML5 | Gadget Lab | Wired.com
Until developers/web site builders catch up with all the killing - there are some apps that indirectly bring Flash videos to your iPhone by first transcoding the Flash content on to their own servers and then serving them as HTML5 to you. In no particular order, the more popular apps are Photon, Skyfire and Cloud Browse. Maybe those will help you; they can be found in the App Store for varying prices. Please be aware this is not an all-inclusive list nor do these apps work as well as using a computer/device that runs Flash natively.
In addition, many members use a remote access app that allows them to access their personal computers in order to stream Flash to their devices. These remote apps work the same way as the paid apps mentioned above. The only exception is that you are streaming the Flash from your personal computer, not from a developers server. Some of the more popular apps for this purpose are (again, in no particular order): Splashtop, LogMeIn and TeamViewer. Again, this list is not all inclusive, as you may find an app that works for you that is not mentioned here.
As an extra, final note, many popular sites offer iPhone apps to access their content (bypassing the Flash issue). Most of the major television broadcasters offer apps, while many banks, news sites, clubs, self-help organizations and stores, etc., have apps you can access. Ultimately, a search of the App Store is always a good idea when you are looking for Flash alternatives. You may be surprised by what is available.
Given all that, there is no other way to help you here at this forum. So, with your understanding, this thread is closed.
Thanks.
