I installed linux-flashplugin6, and linuxpluginwrapper. both mozilla and firefox recognized the plugin, but they didn't play sound, and the browser just hanged right after I closed the window with the flash movie. then I tried to install linux-flashplugin7 but mozilla/firefox doesn't recognize it, and I can't find any documentation on how to enable that (well, I did find on google that it works with opera...). I found only a few references to these problems on google, but none of them had a solution (does this mean that nobody uses flash with freebsd or nobody's having problems with that :) ). I don't want to install flash5 because many sites require flash6. (and I don't have a windows machine to view them there). any suggestions? thanx -- Haim
