Doing you flash development on the SDK does not really make sense, because you still wont get the sense of speed/size that a real tablet will give you.
It is quite easy to open a network share on the tablet, and publish your Flash .swf to that folder. Then just open it with the tablet. Of course, this is after you test it on the computer.
Now that Flash apps can be complied for the iPhone, and Flash 10.1 is coming to all smartphones, will we see more mobile flash apps? Cross-platform FTW!
P.S. I have always believed that in Flash development, it is best to compile for the lowest version of flash player that supports your code. Personal preference, but I would rather have all my users work with my website than just a few working faster. Mostly because those damn elementary schools still run IE6 and Flash 6...

Nah...I do all my flash dev using Flex 3.3 and Netbeans. I need to be able to open the .swf in the Maemo5 SDK browser so I can test the native service running on the virtual N900. I'm debugging the service, but need to run the .swf to manipulate it.

Couldn't hurt to "try" it...
yes
Xephyr screen changing colors frequently? That isn't normal -- I haven't seen that at all.... Something is wrong in your setup.

However, the native service will be running on the Maemo5 device, so I need to open a browser window within the SDK, navigate to a server that has my flash app, and use gdb to trap the interaction between the browser app and my localhost service.

I'm really unexperienced on debugging in C, but I think it is possible to remotely debug your code via TCP/IP on an actual device (even tough if the SDK were usable for this it would be more practical).

Back to the Original topic.
If you'd like to test flash, (Youtube, games etc.) on the maemo 5 SDK, it can be achieved by the following:
get the Flash Player 10 for Linux (.tar.gz) Unzip it with your favorite archive manager.
Copy the .so file to /scratchbox/users/USERNAME/home/USERNAME/.mozilla/plugins
Restart Browser... Done and Done.
I'm attempting to do the same with the LogMeIn plug-in for Mozilla.
Granted, this won't show the same performance as on device (I would suspect) but at least you can work on interfaces and size formatting.
