==Full Flash 9 Support==
+
The Adobe Flash player plugin can be emulated to run on native browsers. Alternatively, the browser can also be emulated, but this method seems to lack performance.
  
Full Adobe Flash 9 support can be present by using a Win32 browser and Adobe Flash 9 for Windows in WINE. This was tested with WINE 0.9.59, FreeBSD 7-Release and Firefox 2.0.0.13.

==Linux plugin emulation==

Install {{port|www/linux-c6-flashplugin11}} through ports, since at times the repository package may be outdated:

This should install other linux-c6 dependencies, including {{port|www/nspluginwrapper}}. Follow the directions at the end of installing the programs, most of which will be repeated below in the configuration sections.
  
First install linuxpluginwrapper
+
Load Linux modules according to [[Linux, configuration#Loading Linux modules]].
# pkg_add -r linuxpluginwrapper
+
Or with options:
+
# cd /usr/ports/*/linuxpluginwrapper;make install clean

Next install flashplugin7

Or to upgrade from a previous installed Flash plugin:

nspluginwrapper -v -a -u
  
===Konqueror===
+
To view the loaded plugins:
 +
nspluginwrapper -l
  
Go to Settings -> Configure Konqueror -> plugins
+
If this doesn't work on Firefox, all packages may need to be reinstalled cleanly.
  
Create the directory and link files

==Wine emulation==
# mkdir /usr/X11R6/lib/linux-flashplugin6

Full Adobe Flash 9 support can be present by using a Win32 browser and Adobe Flash 9 for Windows in WINE. This was tested with WINE 0.9.59, FreeBSD 7-Release and Firefox 2.0.0.13.
  
Now go and test it out.

Alternatively look into installing the package {{port|emulators/pipelight}}, which is meant to use windows plugins, through wine emulation, in non-emulated FreeBSD browsers. (I haven't tested this set-up)

You will need to patch a file and compile it's all explained on this site:

===Linux Opera===
+
 
+
I've noticed that some things work better under linux-opera than any other browser on FreeBSD.  For instance the Asterisk Flash Operator Panel will only work properlly under this port and YouTube works with sound and video under opera!
+
 
+
All you should have to do is install it.  Opera will automatically use the libmap.conf file to find the flash libraries and load them.

# cd /usr/ports/www/linux-opera && make install clean

The Adobe Flash player plugin can be emulated to run on native browsers. Alternatively, the browser can also be emulated, but this method seems to lack performance.

[edit] Linux plugin emulation

Install www/linux-c6-flashplugin11 through ports, since at times the repository package may be outdated:

# cd /usr/ports/www/linux-c6-flashplugin11; make install clean

This should install other linux-c6 dependencies, including www/nspluginwrapper . Follow the directions at the end of installing the programs, most of which will be repeated below in the configuration sections.

Load Linux modules according to Linux, configuration#Loading Linux modules.

[edit] /etc/

/etc/fstab

linproc         /compat/linux/proc    linprocfs  rw    0   0
proc            /proc                 procfs     rw    0   0

/compat/linux/etc/nsswitch.conf

passwd:     files nis
shadow:     files nis
group:      files nis
hosts:	    files nis dns

[edit] Run nspluginwrapper

Run the following for a library plugin to be found by Firefox:

nspluginwrapper -v -a -i

Or to upgrade from a previous installed Flash plugin:

nspluginwrapper -v -a -u

To view the loaded plugins:

nspluginwrapper -l

If this doesn't work on Firefox, all packages may need to be reinstalled cleanly.

[edit] Wine emulation

Full Adobe Flash 9 support can be present by using a Win32 browser and Adobe Flash 9 for Windows in WINE. This was tested with WINE 0.9.59, FreeBSD 7-Release and Firefox 2.0.0.13.

Alternatively look into installing the package emulators/pipelight , which is meant to use windows plugins, through wine emulation, in non-emulated FreeBSD browsers. (I haven't tested this set-up)
