That requires a flash player and mobile phones don't have that natively. iPhones don't have it at all.

You could download an app called "photon" or "photon browser" that let's you run a less intensive version of a flash player in-browser on your iDevice. It allows you to see the videos and even play the flash games you see on eSix.

BTW, This is not a proper usage or valid means for the creation of forums.

Actually, the creation of a forum for stuff like this should of been, instead, in the off topic segment. The admins may not know how to help, and messaging users or commenting on posts can be a shoot in the dark, so while trivial, this is a better choice than the aforementioned methods. You can ask the admins yourself, they don't want to be bothered by every trivial thing...

As for browser, I use Puffin. It works, it's shoddy, but it's free. Only issue is it does not exactly recognize keybindings as actions, so stick to th clicks.

I'm pretty sure (s)he meant videos, not flashes.

With flashes, I would double check what browser I would use, because I'm pretty sure majority of those browsers run or convert the flash on manufacturers cloud, meaning all your browsing habits go trough them. And even with android, installing old unsupported build may cause problems with the played flash or in worst case scenario there's some security hole waiting to be used.

As for videos, safari doesn't support webm files at all and if I have read correctly apple also restricts third party browsers to use their rendering engine with limitations. But as they are still regular video files, you should be able to just download them to local memory or "open with" and watch with something like VLC, also seeing many recommending PlayerXtreme Media Player.

if it is videos, then I, too, use VLC to download 'em. It doesn't get them all, but it is reliable for WebM

This question is definitely a proper thread for this forum.
You definitely want to get a media player and download them to your device in order to view them.
