[LUG] Flash 9 beta

 

Hi folks,

Now I know not everyone is a fan of Flash, but for those of you who are 
you might be interested to know that Adobe Flash Player 9 has been 
released.  There is a Mozilla plugin and a standalone player avaliable 
here: http://blogs.adobe.com/penguin.swf/2006/10/beta_is_live.html 
(Click Go get it).

I tried the plugin with Firefox and it seems to work okay.

To install it I untar'd the tar.gz file and copied the libflashplayer.so 
to /usr/lib/firefox/plugins and also to my user Firefox plugins 
directory (~/.mozilla/plugins) although thinking about it now it would 
have probably just have been easier to create a link.

Just thought I'd mention it.  As I said above, not everyone will be 
interested as it's non-free but it's possible that some of you folks 
might not have heard about it and would want to give it a try?

Rob
