Flash is pretty much broken all around on FreeBSD. The reason is that the Macromedia flash plugin is only for Linux. Therefore you can't run a native FreeBSD browser and get decent flash, you need to run a Linux port of a browser using the Linux plugin. This is NOT the fault of FreeBSD, it is the fault of Macromedia, who continues to promote proprietary software as a web standard. Shame on them! David
