Hi, At least not all Facebook games are flash, though. Thankfully. I hope they'll eventually listen to the petition about flash accessibility on the Mac.
Also, I'd imagine that, if flash was available on the iPhone, it'd pose the same potential security risks as it does on computers. Speaking of flash, don't we actually have experimental flash applications in the App Store? I've heard of a Southpark one. That's a game, of course. Hopefully, most flash apps will continue to be games, in which case, accessibility to flash won't matter much, anyway.
