Get Flash Working in Flock Browser in Ubuntu

Many readers complained yesterday that Flock browser I reviewed about yesterday [here] had one major problem - It cannot play flash content. I too faced the same problem and finally here is the

solution:

Fire up the terminal and paste this in it:
sudo nautilus
Navigate to the folder:
usr/lib/firefox/plugins and copy the only file present there 'flashplugin-alternative.so'
to this folder:
/opt/flock/plugins

Restart Flock and you will have flash working.

if this is not working get the flashplugin so file from here :- http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ and put the so file in /opt/flock/plugins


Tested on ubuntu 10.04
