    Very easy.. you state simple facts.

    Android: over 60% mobile computing marketshare = supports Flash
    Desktop: 90%+ users support Flash

    You build majority of their needs with it and then you just say you will do a fallback for iOS to be in HTML.

    Or, you will use AIR to build a native app from the Flash code with little effort and publish that same thing to app store since most users get apps on iOS anyways.

    You can give them examples of big companies who do the exact same thing. They have main products/services running Flash and only have fallbacks for iOS in HTML/HTML5.

    New York Post does this effectively. They don't show a website on iPad but tell you to download a "superior" native solution. Another great example is HBOGo service. Their whole service is Flash and they have iOS app for that.

    You explain that developing in HTML5 which only 40% of the audience can see and won't work in IE 6, IE7 and partially IE8 is irresponsible and that it will require far more resources and money than to target Flash on all major platforms and high compatibility but you do only custom fallback or app for iOS. This is the most efficient way of doing things anyways.
