Downgrade Flash to 11.1.102.63 fixed Shockwave

[Richard Bloss]

Hi,
I have an  Nvidia GeForce2 Go & found this thread "*Flash 11.2.202.228
solutions"  *http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1953796
Downloaded / Extracted / Flash 11.1.102.63 from lovinglinux website &
copied it into Chromium Plugins & flashplugin-installer & now Plugin
Shockwave is no longer crashing & the Missing Plugin msg is gone too.


Haven't looked into PLOP yet, just very happy to have Flash working.

Thank you

rich bloss
