    Flash x64 no longer available

    i noticed after adding the flashplugin-x64 ppa from ubuntu tweak, when im in the synaptic package manager and go to install it, it appears to be installed but when i check the terminal log i see that it fails to download the plugin. I know that flash x64 has temporally been halted by macromedia
    i have tried using nspluginwrapper and the 32bit flash version but with certain videos im unable to use the controls.

    I was wanting to know where i could get the latest x64 flashplugin ?? that was made before macromedia stopped creating them.

    I anticipated adobe's removing of the file altogether, and I have it in my dropbox acct.

    Don't waste your energy trying to change opinions ... Do your thing, and don't care if they like it.

    Before you go using an unsupported version of flash which has a security issue, you might try sorting out the controls by typing this into a terminal

    Code:
    gksudo gedit /usr/lib/nspluginwrapper/i386/linux/npviewer
    and placing this on a new line before the last line. Then save and try your flash again.

    Code:
    export GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS=1
    Just giving you an alternative option.
