Hi

Unfortunatelly I do not own any tablet and I wonder how to run flash animation (swf file) on such device. For example I would like to create animation of changing pictures and run it full screen on tablet. Or even add two buttons "next" "previous" to switch between pictures. How to achieve this, is this something complicated ?
 
So on the other hand do you know what kind of software they use to create such animations on tablet devices presented around in mobile companies, shops etc. ?

AFAIK Flash content is created using Adobe CS. Which doesn't run on Android, needs a PC.

Flash content is created by Flash Professional. But it's not the thing. If we create this we got the source code. But after compilation we got just SWF file which is used on the websites around the world. And even when we view www pages on our tablet we have opportunity to see swf animations and banners after installing Adobe Flash Player plugin. But how to run such animation standalone without using tablet web browser.

Might be an app to do it, try Smart SWF Player by SimpleLife. There's a few others as well on Play, just search "SWF Player". Flash usually runs in a supported browser, like Dolphin.

Flash is dying but it's not dead (yet) on the mobile platform. If you don't mind using a different browser (i.e., Dolphin), there are ways of making it work (still). Check XDA for Flash instructions specific to your Android version. The replacement animations you see online now are HTML5 or Silverlight, if that's what you were asking.
 
FYI Microsoft Silverlight is only for desktop Windows and Mac OS X. and I think it's very seldom used on sites anyway these days. It was Microsoft's proprietary alternative to Adobe Flash.
