RE: still no macromedia flash support?
Hi William Xuuu, Firefox complains Install Missing Plugins now and then, though as directed, i installed it, but it still complains. Looking into `~/.mozilla/plugins', i found that libflashplayer.so is built on Intel 80386, so there's still no support in linuxppc arch ? if you reach for the plugins tab in Preferences menu, you will find an option such install available plugins, click on it and the Firefox will search for it. I succesfully installed a Macromedia plugin. Have a look.

The swf-player package contains a free flash player and a mozilla plugin. It does not support all featuers of flash, but it is still better than nothing. AFAIK there is no support for the proprietary flash player on ppc-linux. Gaudenz signature.asc Description: Digital signature

I succesfully installed a Macromedia plugin. Have a look. I don't have a plugins tab in the Preferences menu. Is this an extension that has to be installed? (I'm running FireFox 1.0) I know when I go to a page that complains about a missing plugin, I can bring up a plugins dialog, but the Macromedia plugin doesn't automatically install for Debian. In fact, it says it can't even identify an appropriate plugin for my platform. Frustratingly, I have somehow enabled flash advertising (on web pages like http://www.economist.com/ ), which REALLY bogs down this 266 Mhz PowerBook!

Interestingly, when i'm installing the missing plugin, it complains nothing, just installs it smoothly, and i can reach the final `finish' option. While after that, it still complains about the missing plugin! It's cheating me! I've been cheated many times. :-) -- William

Then maybe when the next version of swf_player comes out, go back through your blocked swf urls and try them to see if the problem is fixed. For the time being I actually have a complete flash killer filter, just *swf in adblocker, but I don't know if you want to go that far. Sorry if this tip negates testing of swf_player. I have every intention of checking the source code one of these days and seeing if I can understand it well enough to debug these sorts of problems and submit patches. -- Mike Small [EMAIL PROTECTED]
