Yes, the plugin would need the Linux compatibility and a Linux binary browser (such as linux-firefox or linux-opera).

I did try the Linux browser plugin along with linux-opera and it worked somewhat. It played the visual elements of Flash OK, however there is no sound since they're using ALSA for the sound in version 9. I also noticed that after playing Flash content, the area where the content was would turn a solid grey color and it seemed to lock the browser up a bit. If I closed out of that tab it seemed to be OK. Normally I have Flash disabled for all but a couple sites since it uses up tons of RAM and really slows down the browser after use (version 7 at least), so I unloaded 9 and went back to 7 for now where sound at least works. Hopefully Adobe will add in alternate sound support methods so other platforms besides Linux can have sound like in version 7, and of course I hope they release a native FreeBSD binary sometime too so we can use native browsers. -Mark I am not able to get this to work.

If you want to use Flash 9 inside a browser (which seems to work fairly well with the exception of sound), then you need the Linux plugin version off their website and a Linux version of a browser such as linux-opera or linux-firefox. With them only producing the plugin for Linux, then you're kinda stuck with running a Linux binary browser for now. I tried the linuxpluginwrapper and a native browser before and it worked fairly OK with Flash 6, but had some problems even with version 7 so I don't think version 9 will work through that method. Also, if you need sound in Flash, you're better sticking with version 7 for now since they've used ALSA for their sound in version 9 which is Linux specific. If you want to see them make native Flash for FreeBSD or improve the sound support so we can at least use the Linux binary with sound, here are three ideas that might help: 1) Ask them on their official wish form: http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform 2) Register your machine(s) with BSDStats which can help prove that there is a market for FreeBSD support: http://bsdstats.org/ 3) Sign the Flash for FreeBSD petition which already has almost 3,000 signatures: http://www.petitiononline.com/flash4me/ -Mark -- Internet Radio: Party107 (Trance/Electronic) - http://www.party107.com Rock 101.9 The Edge (Rock) - http://www.rock1019.net IRC: MIXXnet IRC Network - irc.mixxnet.net (Nick: MIXX941) ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
