Another alternative is combining this "hack"

plus either Personal Launcher or Personal Menu.
First backup the original SWF:
Code:
mv /usr/share/tutorial-applet/N800-tutorial.swf /usr/share/tutorial-applet/N800-tutorial.swf.stock
Download some .SWF Flash games into Nokia N810>Games (actually is /home/user/MyDocs/.games)
You need to first create a "clear last game" launcher (for some reason Personal Launcher doesn't support "&&" command chaining.
Desktop>Menu>Applet Settings>Personal Launcher
(+) Add Command>
Type in a name for it: Clear SWF
Command to execute: rm /usr/share/tutorial-applet/N800-tutorial.swf
Check "Run as root"
Select an icon
So you create a flash game launcher by
Desktop>Menu>Applet Settings>Personal Launcher
(+) Add Command>
Type in a name for it: SuperMario SWF
Command to execute: ln -s /home/user/MyDocs/.games/SuperMario.swf /usr/share/tutorial-applet/N800-tutorial.swf
Check "Run as root"
Select an icon

(Alternatively instead of having to use a "clear" command each time you switch games to get rid of the symlink - you can substitute "ln -s" with "cp" to copy the SWF each time)
Select the game's newly created icon.
Now just click on the "Getting Started" applet on the home screen.
