flash player 10.0.22.87 is not work with Opera - why not?
Viktor Cemasko
first sorry for my crocodile "engrish".
Good news, there is new version flash player for Solaris/OpenSolaris. And
now you can even install it from pkg.sun.com! :)

The wrong news (for me) so the new flash player is not working with Opera
browser. :-( :-/
Platform Browser Player Version
Solaris Mozilla, Firefox 10.0.22.87
Any occasional info about "why not"? Is it depends on Adobe or on Opera?
TIA.

It looks like this version of Flash only works with Firefox, by design.
I'll will ask around internally and see if I can get someone to have a
look but I would hazard a guess that you probably won't see a fix in the
short term.

It is clear, I do not understand why and how it occured.

Okay, thank You. I will wait for any "explanation" of the situation.

I downloaded the latest Flash yesterday, in an archive that contained
only one file: libflashplayer.so and placed it in
$prefix/lib/opera/plugins. It works.
I'm on OpenSolaris snv 104 amd64 (though Opera is probably 32 bit).

first thank You for Your email, I glad to hear the new flash version is
work for You, but for me it only seems like work. :(
I can see contains of flash only for few seconds, after only blank white
square/arrea. If I press Ctrl+R (reload) in Opera I can see flash for
another few moments.

Opera 9.64. Build 2480 for SunOS. Qt library 3.3.5.
SunOS lBaltazar 5.11 snv_111 i86pc i386 i86pc Solaris
OS and Opera both are 32 bit.
For the moment I happily use flashplayer version SOL, 9,0,159,0.
Have a nice day!

You're right. None of those test sites work for me either. I don't
recall what I thought worked -- I've only been trying out opera for a
few days.

I will have to give that one a try then.
For the record, I got a bunch of those messages in my console (where I
ran opera):
Not GTK2 toolkit (got 0).
Not GTK2 toolkit (got 0).
Presumably they have something to do with Flash not working. How to
bridge that gap I have no idea. Hopefully someone at Opera will.
