it would require you write a plugin to support it. also the plugin
framework only sends though the left, right, and action keys. Lastly due
to the way the plugin is architectured the performance (fps) isn't very
good.
so 'possible' but i wouldn't recommend it.

Unfortunately, it's my boss's command to run a MacroMedia Flash to Homescreen.
For such reason, I wanted to hear that is impossible.
But... possible...
So, I have to make it..
Where can I get the sample code or reference about 'plugIn'?

I assume you have access to the flash source? also as i stated you won't
be able to do much interaction with the flash applet. lastly the plugin
architecture is designed to only need to draw every once and a while -
it's not designed to do animations - you can, but it will not perform
well and (if not done very carefully) will drain your battery.
so, sorry, it's 'possible' but you are really running uphill on this
one, as the architecture really isn't designed for this usage.
the homescreen plugin architure is COM based, see IHomePlugin.
For an example see the SDK samples directoty for the sample called
'helloplug'.
