Just as the title says, can flash be used in an android game to show animation? Like say an animated Lightning bolt appearing on the screen when a user touches a spot on the touch screen?
If this is not possible, what are alternatives to this?
Thanks.
Yes, it should be possible, most likely through a WebView. However, an animated lightning bolt in an onTouch from the actual Android UI is not possible, unless your whole app, or at least the part that needs to display the lightning bulb, is a Web-app.
There are other ways to do this, and much better way to make games in Android. I suggest you take a look at: http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/graphics/index.html
