Here is a basic pet for Slacko 5.6 users (might work for other pups but not tested yet) but at this stage only recommended for "liveCD" use without savefile.

It adds an entry to the internet menu ("Fireflash /tmpsaver") that closes the current Firefox (if open) then swaps the flashplayer.so and reopens firefox. You can search the internet for the flash video you want and it will play in the browser but also appear in /tmp ready for manual saving.

***NOTE: this pet moves the original flashplayer.so to /opt and replaces it with an older version but in it's current form the pet does not restore it back when the browser is closed. This is fine if you are just using it temporarily to capture flash videos but if you then want to go back to original state you will need to manually restore flashplayer.so from /opt (or reboot if using liveCD boot instead of savefile)

Download here:

I will have a tinker and try to make a pet that restores the original flashplayer automatically.

Thanks for the help all!

Flash is so gross I have it as a sfs now and just load the one i want.

Yes naming..I name the player as per version so I know which is which...only the .so makes a difference.

By the way have you seen the hacked flashplayers that spoof their version..stops some websites moaning

I have 10.0.15 spoofed as 10.3.15 for example.

I do have a couple of version 10's (not sure exact versions) and one v9 that spoofs as a v10, but I am keen to collect as many versions as I can find and try them, as each one seems to have different issues.

You could open a market stall selling flash players.

Get an oracle account as a test pilot and you could do the same for Java :D

Well actually I was hoping you might give me a link to your favourite flashy. I'm now an official collector ...
:)
Java? Can't stand it.

Well I have flash from version 6 onwards...but not here...will upload a bundle for you when I get access. Also have a pile of standalone players too.

Java 1.6 is ok...just NEVER enable the web plugin.
There is some great software around for it...one favourite is a circuit simulator. And then some great 3d games and a space simulator too....
Used as a standalone program its fine.

Do I qualify for a badge... have a similar set for windows too

If dropbox makes it look like you need to sign in just ignore it/close.

Many thanks! Quite a collection.

What is the difference between the flashplayer and the libflashplayer?

Yep definitely - what would you like? "Worlds best Flasher" perhaps? I will keep my eyes open for a suitable graphic :-)

There is a link underneath the signup box that says "Nope - continue to download". That seems to be the quickest way.
cheers!

flashplayer is the standalone player (click and play) and lib is the plugin.

Looking forward to being a flasher.... especially now the weather has warmed up...
