games loading slow is due to your internet speed not flash 10 right?

i have heard that although flash 10 contents loads but micro b browser crashes when trying to interact with it but it seems like everything is working fine for you which is great!

so it seems like we now more or less have access to flash 10!

Having tested this leaked 10.1 plugin, I soon switched back to the native one. But it's certainly good to have the option of a real if somewhat unstable 10.1 flashplayer for cases where tweakflashver is not enough. To be able to switch between the different versions I found that it's simplest to do that by symbolic links, like so (as root):
  1. Install experimental version in, say, new subdirectory 10.1:
    Code:

    mkdir /usr/lib/browser/plugins/10.1
    cp /path/to/new/libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/browser/plugins/10.1

  2. Move original version to, say, new subdirectory orig:
    Code:

    mkdir /usr/lib/browser/plugins/orig
    mv /usr/lib/browser/plugins/libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/browser/plugins/orig

To activate 10.1 version I do
Code:

ln -sf /usr/lib/browser/plugins/10.1/libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/browser/plugins/libflashplayer.so
and to activate the original version I do
Code:

ln -sf /usr/lib/browser/plugins/orig/libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/browser/plugins/libflashplayer.so
It's of course easy enough to define shortcuts (e.g. shell aliases for root when using ssh) to have a more convenient switch, or even make a simple dedicated app.

wow this is great for on the fly flash version switching, thanks!
if you know how to make a dedicated app for the switch please keep us posted or tell us any other shortcut

I wouldn't bother with an app.. just make an alias ;)
Good idea on the linking!

Why do you need to change back to 9?
Not many sites now support ver 9.

Note that a simple alias only works for root, for example when you ssh into the device.

I actually found that tweakflashver is (so far) enough for almost all of my purposes (google streetview I use through an Easy Debian app to which I pointed somewhere above in this thread).

EDIT: After some failed attempts, I managed to set up shortcuts where I don't need ssh to get root: Provided rootsh is installed, adding the following lines to /home/user/.profile
Code:

alias flash10='/usr/bin/rootsh /bin/ln -sf /usr/lib/browser/plugins/10.1/libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/browser/plugins/libflashplayer.so'
alias flash9='/usr/bin/rootsh /bin/ln -sf /usr/lib/browser/plugins/orig/libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/browser/plugins/libflashplayer.so'

allows one to just say "flash10" or "flash9" in XTerminal to activate the respective flashplayer. One should of course stop and restart the browser when doing so.

my results with this flash 10 plugin mimic that of an earlier post in the sense that content loads slower than normal and if i try to interact with it micro b reloads the website thus heavily limiting the usefulness of the plugin in and oh yea i also get the red rectangular bar in all flash content
