Is there an Apple-friendly equivalant to Flash? I keep getting pop-ups saying to update Flash. Just wondering if there is something that can be used that does the same, better, as Flash. Thanks in advance.

There's a website that will play the FLASH and send it clean to you but I am not certain of the URL. Do a search for it. It's no good for playing Flash games, but it will do Flash videos. The long run solution is to complain to the site that hosts Flash content and tell them to convert to HTML5 videos and other means of doing their games. Tell them of the host of hurt that repeated Adobe Flash vulnerabilities cause in opening up devices to malware.

There is a web player called DivX webplayer that will play Flash Content you can get that supposedly will handle Flash video. I haven't tried it.

On iOS devices there are some browsers that will play Flash content by using built in non-Adobe Flash players, but again they will not help with playing Flash built games. Among these are Puffin, Photon, iSwifter, and Skyfire.
