If a face down monster is attacked, then it is flipped for damage calculation, if you flip summon, you do it by choice during your turn. Flip counts for both.

For Flip cards like penguin soldier, if it is face down and your opponent attacks it, the effect is activated.

For Flip Summon cards like swarm of scarabs, if it is face down and your opponent attacks it, the effect is NOT activated.

Both types are activated if you flip summon it.

(Also flip activates after damage calculation if you are attacked, so if penguin soldier would be destroyed by the attack, he can't return himself to your hand because he is already destroyed)

Yu-Gi-Oh flip summons?

When, you flip summon a "Yu-Gi-Oh!" monster, it was before in face-down defence position and now is in face-up attack position. You can only use this in a turn in which you have not already done anything with that monster card. You can not summon it into face-down position and then flip it straight away - you must wait until the next turn.

When a monster attacks a facedown monster is that flip summon?

No, a 'Flip Summon' is a manual change from face-down defence to face-up attack position in one of your main phases. If the monster is flipped from an attack, or by an effect, then this is a Flip, but not a Flip Summon. Therefore regular Flip Effect monsters like Night Assailant will trigger from being attacked, but monsters that require Flip Summoning like Guardian Sphinx will not.

Can you manually Flip Summon your monsters the same turn they were Set by your opponent's Book of Eclipse during your Main Phase in Yu-Gi-Oh?

Yes, as long as the monster wasn't summoned in that same turn. If you summon a monster, and the opponent Sets it, you can't flip summon it that turn. If you'd summoned it on a previous turn, and the opponent Set it, then you can Flip Summon it.Book of Eclipse is best used in the battle phase, since the player has to wait until main phase two to flip summon, missing the chance to attack.

You can then Flip Summon it when possible.
