It seems that IE on Microsoft surface will have a list of approved sites where flash is supported, and this list is maintained by Microsoft!

Check this post:

  1. Flash only works on approved sites. Think you'll be able to watch all those Flash-based videos using your new RT computer? Well, think again. Flash will only run on sites approved by Microsoft. Lucky for you, CNET is one of them.

Maybe it is time you redo your site with HTML5 instead, as many are stepping away from flash and also Adobe are dropping flash support from some platforms.
