New Flash9 - Native GTK

[v8YKxgHe]

Seems like a new version of Flash9 is out for us Linux people, now with Native GTK!

I've no idea how to install it though, any help?

Just download the linux tar file, extract, then open a terminal and cd to the extracted directory and run sudo ./flashplayer-installer. Follow the directions and when asked for an installation path enter /usr/lib/firefox.

Download the file, extract it, and move libflashplayer.so to ~/.mozilla/plugins.

have you tried this instuctions?

.tar.gz installation

1. Click the "Download .tar.gz" link. A dialog box will appear asking you where to save the file.
2. Save the .tar.gz file to your desktop and wait for the file to download completely.
3. Unpackage the file. A directory called install_flash_player_9_linux will be created.
4. In terminal, navigate to this directory and type ./flashplayer-installer to run the installer. Click Enter. The installer will instruct you to shut down your browser(s).
5. Once the installation is complete, the plug-in will be installed in your Mozilla browser. To verify, launch Mozilla and choose Help > About Plug-ins from the browser menu.


Edit.. : beaten

Has anybody found a link to "Adobe Systems Incorporated Serial Agreement for Unreleased Products"? Since this release is beta, its EULA states I have to also consent to the terms of that "Serial Agreement for Unreleased Products"; but I haven't been able to locate a copy of it on their website.

It's Beta for a reason.

File a bug report!

I have been using that version (Flash version 9,0,31,0) since February, and it works great for me. It's not new, it was released in January. Just download the tar.gz file, extract it, and move libflashplayer.so to ~/.mozilla/plugins.

WTF!?! Why native GTK? Flash should be nothing more than a backend, and GTK folk could write a front end for it and qt folk could write one too.

Fullscreen, yay!

Same here. Hasn't been buggy at all for me. I didn't even realize it was a beta...

You guys are not using the newest one. It just came out a few days ago. See this link: http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer9.html... note the date of the release on the file.

Maybe this new one will stop freezing my browser:-k

[v8YKxgHe]

This latest one is very unstable. If you right-click on it and go properties, it then locks firefox up. Also I can not click on any flash games, and on some of them it just keeps refreshing the page. I just gave up and re-installed the older one of flash9 and works again.

Hey, that's quite cool. I hope someday I'll be able to scroll the mouse wheel over a flash window, and it will actually work.
