This is possible but slow and I used a very old version of QEMU. IIRC, the 
OpenSUSE wiki mentions how to do that with a more recent version of QEMU.

However, if you run on i386, you don't need QEMU, simply use nspluginwrapper as 
is. I use FreeBSD 6.1 and tested FlashPlayer 9 lately, it works. Though not in 
a browser yet but with a standalone plugins viewer I wrote for testing and 
another project. I don't mean it won't work in a browser, I only mean I haven't 
got time to fully test with Firefox on *BSD yet.

You can get trunk, which represents the upcoming nspluginwrapper 1.2.0, through:
$ svn co http://svn.beauchesne.info/svn/gwenole/projects/nspluginwrapper/trunk 
nspluginwrapper

nspluginwrapper 1.0.0 (targetted to be released this weekend) is available in a 
separate branch:
$ svn co 
http://svn.beauchesne.info/svn/gwenole/projects/nspluginwrapper/branches/nspluginwrapper-1.0-branch

I have not written docs for the standalone player yet (npplayer) but its usage 
is rather simple: npplayer src=uri/to/flash/content.swf

npplayer can be useful to you so that to test whether your problems are related 
to your Linux emulator or the browser, or even nspluginwrapper.

BTW, I would appreciate if people could test nspluginwrapper 1.0 on recent 
FreeBSD versions before I release it since I only have FreeBSD 6.1 and FreeBSD 
5.3 at home. Thanks.

Regards,
Gwenole Beauchesne.
