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!
