Install Flash Player 9 Beta in Flock
For those of you interested in viewing Flash 9 content in Flock, you'll need to copy over a single file from a Mozilla installation... Currently the Flash 9 beta installer doesn't install the plugin into the Flock browser. To get it working, simply copy C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\plugins\NPSWF32.dll to C:\Program Files\Flock\flock\plugins\NPSWF32.dll.
Note: This is obviously not supported from Adobe. I urge you to back up your C:\Program Files\Flock\flock\plugins\NPSWF32.dll before copying over the new version, so you can revert back to it if this doesn't work for you.

worked for me thanks mike!
Thanks! I'll check this out in my windows dev environment. (ps. any thing us flock devs can do to make the beta easier to install in flock or is it an installer issue on your side?)
Any idea on how to do this on Mac?
[Sorry, I don't... What you need to do is find where the plugin gets installed then replace it with the new one. - Mike]
Jesse, you know that Flash 9 is no longer a beta on Windows, it is released. It is confusing because not all platforms are released at the same time -- last I checked Flash 9 for Mac (Intel) was still in beta, and for Linux? who knows?
C:\Program Files\Flock\flock\plugins\NPSWF32.dll.
I want to install Adobe Flash Player 9.
I want to Install Adobe Flash Player 9.0.
I'm interested in beta testing Flash 9 (the editing environment, not the player). How do I sign up to become a beta tester?
[There is a preview release of ActionScript 3, which will be part of the new Flash 9 editing environment, up on the http://labs.adobe.com/ website. - Mike]
