That's pretty much the same as I've done with the above versions of Flash; 
they all show up nicely in Iceape's "About Plugins" dialogue and also in 
Konqueror's Plugins panel; but still Flash does not always work correctly in 
Konqueror. 

Some simple animations work, but YouTube  and MySpace slideshows don't, nor do 
some "Just Played" pages from radio stations, and some websites actually 
report that the browser has "passed invalid data to the server". Certain 
types of links also fail to activate.

As Flash seems to be working for some Konqueror users, I'm wondering if there 
is something I need to install or configure to complete it.

Any clues?

Thanks and regards,

John
