I can't seem to get Konqueror and flash to work together. Flash works
with Mozilla just fine. I'm using Konqueror 3.2.2 and KDE 3.2.2.

When I load a page, such as homestarrunner, all I get (in that
particular case) is a black screen and not a hint of the graphic that
should show up in the middle of the page. Konqueror reports that the
page is fully loaded.

I even downloaded the flash player from Macromedia and tried that. No
go.

I have the "Enable plugins globally" button checked. KDE/Konqueror does
find the flash plugin, it just doesn't work.

Talk to Daeron, Roy Culley, Greycaloud, Rick, and the rest of the liars
over in comp.os.linux.advocacy because they are constantly claiming that
it works right out of the box........

Maybe he can post a link where I have said anything about Konqueror and
Flash... and then, maybe not.

I suppose you emerged netscape-flash, didn't you? GPLflash works only
with older flash versions.

I've just opened it. With Konqueror 3.2.2. And I saw that nasty cartoon
making noises (well, I suppose it tried to sing).
Flash playback was smooth.

What path does Konqueror show you for that plugin? If it helps you,
netscape-flash installs on /opt/netscape/plugins/libflashplayer.so .

Once again, I've had problems with Konqueror. But it does play most
Flash correctly.
