I am not an expert on the topic but would expect that Vuforia uses Android MediaPlayer for video playback. Which, in return, would mean flash video is not supported AFAIK.

Hi Wenda, as harism said, the VideoPlayback sample uses the MediaPlayer class of the Android SDK, which does not seem to support Flash Videos; however there might be conversion tools around for turning the Flash video into another format;

Thanks for the help! which means theres no other way where i can play flash video? can i implement something to do so?

Hi, for fullscreen playback there might be some solutions (external libraries) but in-scene, embedded, playback is most likely a no. Usually video is rendered directly into OpenGL texture using SurfaceTexture but this supports only native Android MediaPlayer (or Camera) at the moment.

If you don;t care about rendering the video to a texture, and you simply want to start a full screen view with the video, you can try and use a WebView and see if you can play the Flsh video in it;
here is a blog discussing how this could be done (although I did not tested it directly):
