my viewpoint is that it is pronounced past tense (past tenz), i think. TO ensure you, i suggest you should look it up in your dictionary. that'll show you how to pronounce it.

Present                 Past

Flash                    Flashed       -> -t
touch                   touched      -> - t

1. If the words are finished by "p, k, s, f, sh, ch, x", it's pronounced with "t".
Ex: stopped, laughed, flashed, touched, cupped, talked, boxed....

2. If the words are finished by 't, d', its pronounced with "-id".
Ex: wanted, needed

3. If the words are finished by other consonantsb, (b, g, l, m, n, r, v, w, z), all are pronounced with "d".
Ex: called, summoned, caned,............
