The goal of the campaign is to boost advertising literacy by…”

I think this is a great idea because advertising is becoming more and more a part of daily life.

The game is side scrolling and plays pretty nice, it is obviously a linear game with coins thrown in for fun.  It’s a pretty high quality game and good to see good games with what I think is a positive thing to be teaching young people.

I have submitted some volcano games to Primary Games Arena.  Click here to see a list of Flash Volcano Games that can be used in Primary School lessons and home.  I was hoping I could have a widget wrote today that would include all the games inline on this blog post but I keep getting distracted by people wanting to use my laptop to check their flights are still flying.

The games are here.

Does anyone know if its possible to drag and drop in flash on android.  I want to play a flash game on my phone and it appears that the click and drag functionality doesn’t exist or isn’t supported?

Am I missing something?

The HTC Hero comes shipped with Flash Lite, sound and video works although some games are a bit too heavy for the graphics processor to handle.
