So, I upgraded to Froyo the other day and then dl Flash 10.1 after and I'm finding I can't get any sites to recognize I have the Flash player. I keep getting told that my phone is not authorized to play flash. I've checked my phone summary and it says I am definitely running 2.2, so what can I do to fix this?
My phone is not rooted, and it's about 2 weeks old.
Thanks!

The Adobe Flash Player is software for viewing animations and movies using a web browser. Flash is a common format for games, and animations such as advertisements embedded into web pages.
To make it possible to deploy flash content on smartphones that have limited processing power and memory availability compared to PCs, a tremendous amount of work has gone into to making Flash Player 10.1 “ready for mobility”. This work on android phones includes performance improvements such as rendering, scripting, memory, start-up time, battery and CPU optimizations, in addition to hardware acceleration of graphics and video.
Flash Player 10.1 allows viewing on many sites such as youtube.com as well as viewing embedded video content within sites such as espn.com.
Sites such as Hulu.com and Netflix movies will not be seen in a full desktop view as the websites recognize the device accessing the site as a mobile device with flash not a laptop or standard PC with flash. This is a limitation on the side of the website being accessed vs. the device itself.
Even YouTube.com is likely to not be accessible in a desktop format for the same reason. However, YouTube videos can be viewed via the YouTube app/widget or those videos embedded within other sites as mentioned above.
