Is it possible to use the stylus like a mouse for Flash content?
 
Most Flash content / games perform kind of rough when playing them embedded on the page, but if you save the swf, launch from the file manager and adjust the quality to low, a lot of them play smooth with sound- even the 3D ones (which proves Flash uses the 3D on the N900, BTW).

A lot of games require some form of mouse action (click action or for directional movement). Problem is that when you play the files through file manager, the stylus simply moves the whole screen, rather than interact with the games.

That is the irony. The games play a whole lot better that way, but I do not see a way to get the stylus to behave like a mouse.

Have you tried opening the swf file directly form the browser and using the Hover mode?

Does entering this hover mode work for you ?
99% of the cases when I try to use it it just doesn't show no matter how much I try to swipe my finger... :(

Works everytime. the trick is to start the swipe from the left, outside the screen. The description on the wiki is pretty accurate:
Swipe finger from the left of the screen (outside of screen), towards right (into the screen)

Thanks! I will try this:)

The Blox game rocks, BTW. Plays perfectly on the N900 and is another point of proof 3D is supported already to some degree in Flash by the N900)

Tons of great games to play, but the secret is saving and opening them through the file manager, since playing embedded is a bit too much and more of a battery drain too.

There are plenty of very good games that you can not buy that are Flash games. Perfect impulse games:)

Hope the hover works! I thought it was only for embedded file interaction.

Rushmore, mind creating a list of flash games that work well on the n900 in the games forum?
