linux and flash

[G-Money]

I have mandrake 9.2 installed. How do you get the web browser to play " .swf "
files?

Web pages made with flash... etc... ?

Thanks

compile flash, you should be able to find the installer/rpm/binaries or source to do it

There is a linux installer for Flash 6 on Macromedia's site. If you're using Mozilla/Firebird you don't even need to run the install script. Just copy the two files included in that tar.gz file into the Mozilla/Firebird plugin directory.

It can depend on the distro to where it is installed, check /usr/lib/Mozilla/plugins/
