boxes. It completely fails on an x86_64 running in 64-bit mode (in

general, 32-bit plugins won't work in a 64-bit browser). Currently
|

there are three projects addressung this problem:</P

orignal GPL Flash plugin. Only handles SWF up to level 4.</P

Firefox. This rewrite of gplflash has been abandoned in favor of

gnash.</P

development and surrounded by warnings.</P

>I think the right stopgap on 64-bit systems might be to build and

install gplflash1, but as of 21 Mar 2006 I can't because it needs

an X header file I cannot yet find the right RPM for. This may

change as the dust settles around FC5.</P
