So what I do when I want to see some Flash7/8/9 videos, is to run Windows Firefox in Wine and use Firefox integrated Flash installer to get the Flash 9 plugin. I know that it is not a perfect solution but it just works out of the box. The only thing you need to to is to emulate W2k IIRC as the Browser keeps crashing when you select Windows XP in Wine (or the other way around? Just play around with it...). Happy youtubing! Lars
