There may be a way to show the Flash in an app via a WebView, but I
have not tried it, and I see enough support questions about it that I
suspect it may not be very straight-forward.

Beyond that, no, it is not possible.

In theory, you could use addJavaScriptInterface() to expose something
in the JavaScript environment of the page loading the Flash animation,
that the Flash animation could call via the Flash-JavaScript bridge.
The interface could start another activity and call finish() on the
current one. I have no idea if this works, and I suspect that it would
be simpler for you to convert the FLV into an MP4 and play it with
VideoView.

Furthermore, I *really* detest opening animations like this. They add
no value, waste the user's time, and suck up device resources. If you
are going to have one, give the user a setting to turn it off, so they
are not irritated by it every time they use your app.
