Multimedia :: Flashplayer

Where is the flashpalyer dsl ? Installed 2.1 can't find flash. Help!

There is no flashplayer dsl. Licensing restrictions apparently forbid redistribution. Download the player from macromedia.com and extract the *.so file into /opt/.firefox_plugins

Thanks! I extracted it in home and moved it into /opt(libflashplayer.so) but I don't know how to get into firefox plugins. Permisssion denied. I see there's no "paste" function.

"mv /opt/libflashplayer.so /opt/.firefox_plugins/" (note the dot and the trailing slash)
If this doesn't work,
"sudo mv /opt/libflashplayer.so /opt/.firefox_plugins/"

Can't get it to work. I can install dsl ok but I've never messed around with the file system. Mandriva and Xandros is what I use mainly so this quite unusual. Anyway I have libflashplayer.so unpacked on the left side and /opt/firefox/plugins showing on the right side. Whenever I try to move or copy I get "permission denied" on the bottom. I guess it's moot anyway. When I try mplayer my cpu usage is so great that it freezes. That's what I wanted flash for. I reinstalled dsl and will forgo flash. Thanks for the help.
