You might try removing the current plugin and install it by going to a flash-laden site & following the "install plugin" instructions. Just keep in mind that Flash 9 is unstable in Opera. It was built specifically for Gtk2 browsers, for some reason, and simply refuses to run at all in Gtk1/Qt browsers. Opera is apparently an exception, but at this time it seems to have incomplete support.
