    To play SWF files you have to enable plugins:

    _webview.getSettings().setPluginState(PluginState.ON);

    and if your .html file uses javascript:

    _webview.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);

    EDIT to answer comment

    In your situation you need to use your own webview at the moment links are redirecting to the browser:

     _webview.setWebViewClient(new DownloadWebViewClient());

 public class DownloadWebViewClient extends WebViewClient{

    @Override
    public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url) {
                return false; // Allows your webview to handle clicked links                
    }
 }
