Thanks for the ideas. I tried all three but no difference. I've experimented with various WINEDEBUG settings, E.g: WINEDEBUG=+file,+reg wine "~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Macromedia/Flash 8/Players/SAFlashPlayer.exe" test1.swf 2>debug.log As far as I can see the local storage settings are not read/write from the registry, or the filesystem! Spooky, but it matches what I observed poking around on the windows machine as well. BTW, it was trying to read from: ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/system/Macromed/Flash so I created that directory, and copied in all the files from the windows machine. I also created a blank sub-directory called FlashPlayerTrust which is something else it looked for. None of that made any difference. Grrr... this is very frustrating. Currently the only linux standalone player is version 6; if I could just get this working fully then we'd have a flash 8 player. Everything else seems to work, it is just changing the settings. > another thought: maybe you should try running the installer for the flash > plugin (even though you are using the standalone player) -- perhaps it will > set up all the needed registry entries and/or directory structures? Can you tell me more about the flash plugin installer? Would I need a Windows browser? Someone said trying windows firefox under wine didn't work, but no specifics about what worked and what didn't (i.e. did firefox not run, or was it just the flash 8 plugin didn't run, or does the plugin run but just settings couldn't be changed)?
