Getting Shockwave Flash to work

(1/3) > >>

Calum:
hello, i don have netscape installed, i have galeon, konqueror, mozilla and phoenix. I want them all to be able to use the shockwave plugin.

I have copied the .so and the .class file into the /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins folder and i have set konqueror to autodetect plugins, and the mozilla plugins directory is in its search path for such.

My shockwave plugin was only a few hundred kb in size, and contained a .so file and a .class file and two readmes.

they claim i need netscape to make this work.

How do i make it work, and what the real lowdown?

thanks.

Calum:
no wait, i went to rpmfind.net and got the rpm for mandrake and now the shockwave plugin works in mozilla and galeon BUT not konqueror (even though i set it to scan for plugins in the right dir all the time) and not in PHOENIX either! to be expected since phoenix has NO settings to speak of, is it supposed to support plugins yet? i thought it might, baing mozilla as it is...

well then, any thoughts?

thanks guys, i know it is painful watching me taking my first steps in online linux!  ;)

Calum:
yeah but i think it needs netscape. mozilla and galeon doing flash still, they are both 'netscape compatible', however even though konqueror is still avidly watching the mozilla plugins, and even though both the rpm and the hand installed versions of the plugin are showing up, it still does not display flash.

I think it will not work in konqueror until i install netscape. I have netscape 6, but it seems to just be a tar.gz file containing the full installed dir of netscape 6. I unzipped it and put it in /usr/bin/ but it is not running. i will need to delete it again. I don want netscape anyway...

voidmain:
Flash works for me in Konqueror. But I'm on RedHat and have also installed "plugger".  Do you have the "plugger" RPM installed? I don't believe plugger is required for flash though. It's more for other video and dound files (Quicktime, MPEG, AU, WAV, MIDI, WAV, etc, etc, etc)...

It can run Quicktime?
