Adobe Flash on galaxy s3

So strange... I was like I have never noticed any flash updates on my phone and after looking at this post I was like hey I better make sure I got flash. I went here to test if I had flash or not.

50 Beautiful Flash Websites

They all play perfectly but if I go to the Play store and select my Apps Flash is not in my list. I know I have it because I can view every site in that list just fine. They must have removed it from My Apps as part of the process of getting rid of it? Anyways I can see flash for now :-) BTW I read that there is a huge amount of fake Flash apk's out there just full of male-ware that when installed subscribe you to several monthly services at like $12 a pop. Watch out!!
 
I purchased my Samsung Galaxy S 3 from Verizon on 8/24/12, which apparently was a couple weeks after it was pulled from the google play store. I have since downloaded flash 11.1 a few times from adobe's site but it doesn't seem to work.

I have tried the default browser (after enabling plug ins), Dolphin HD browser (including the older one that already has flash) and Opera... nothing seems to work. The only thing that is slightly different is when I use the stock browser and check 'desktop' view, I can see flash icons on addictingames.com which I understand uses flash... before I installed it, this site wouldn't work.

The problem I'm having seems to be with embeded flash video. When I go to CBS.com, I am unable to view any video there. Additionally, when I go to the flash settings app that is installed, I get a black page with a blue icon that looks like a lego.

It seems that everyone else is somehow getting around this problem but I have spent several hours trying to make the damn thing start using flash! Feeling pretty bummed that I just spent $650 on a phone that doesn't support this :(

Any ideas/tricks are GREATLY appreciated. Thanks!!
 
If everyone refused to view Flash-enabled sites at once, all these sites would be forced to recode immediately and this issue would be behind us.

I sideloaded Adobe Flash on my new S3. I installed the apk right off the Adobe archive site. The flashplayer shows up in my App list, when I try to access the mobile settings (using stock browser, Firefox, Dolphin) I get a black screen. The Adobe test page shows no Flash and of course, none of the browsers recognize flash. Anyone have a solution to this problem?

The main reason I picked Android over Iphone was for Adobe Flash. So I'm never updating to any OS that doesnt have flash. There are so many sites that use flash for videos and what do we want to do on this beautiful S3 screen watch videos.
