If you're developing applications with Adobe Flex, you'll need Flash Player 9 to view the applications. To get Flash Player 9 working in Flock, do the following:
Simply copy C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\plugins\NPSWF32.dll to C:\Program Files\Flock\flock\plugins\NPSWF32.dll.
I've blogged about this on my blog. If you want to Digg it, do so here.
Hope this helps.

Great hint Mike. I think this also works with other plugins, but I have not tried this myself.

You can also use the "Version Test for Adobe Flash" page to verify you have installed Flash Player 9 correctly.

How about those of us on OS X?
I have Flash 9 installed for all of my other broswers but Flock will not use it.

How do you install flash 9 beta into flock? With Mozilla I just changed the libflashplayer.so and I get flash 9 with mozilla but I tried the same with Flock and still have flash 7.
I run Kubuntu Edgy Eft.

for linux,
go to ~/.flock and
ln -s /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins plugins
or similar

Odd, my Flash 9 under Linux is half-working: it appears ok in about:plugins, but websites don't recognize it, and keep telling me to install it :/ Any ideas?

Ruby, I'm having the same problem with Flash under IE 6 on XP. It passes the plug-in tests and some Flash things work, but others don't since I installed Flock. I've rebooted and reinstalled Flash, but it didn't make a difference.

Thanks for the info mikepotter. worked like a charm for me.

I don't know why, but when I disabled MediaWrap, it worked.

What if it's a .xpt (not .xpm) file we have?

Hi Wendy,
I was wondering where did you see Flash packaged as an xpt file?
Please let me know, thanks so much.

Go to C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash and copy and paste both flashplayer.xpt and NPSWF32.dll into C:\Program Files\Flock\flock\plugins

I just downloaded Flock because my Mozilla wasn't working anymore. I had flash with Mozilla but, It wont work for flock. I have tried everything!

Hi there,
Here's the link: http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe.
You may need to run C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash\uninstall_plugin.exe FIRST to clean up older versions which seem to conflict.
Please let me know how this goes.
