Go into your firefox\mozilla\firefox directory and open up pluginreg.dat with a text editor do a search for flash 7.0 and change it to 8.0

Hello,
The only available Flash I found and have is Flash 5.
Where did you get a higher version and how to install it. How to have
the 8 version working ?
Thanks

this is not about the OS2MT,
but since reading some of the reply's I decided to do some
playing with the .dat.
I changed mine to 7.0 r60 restarted firefox...and did a
about: plugins...it still showed flash 5.0 r67...
then I went into the plugins file and deleted the flash plugin
(npswf2.dll) and replaced it with the newest version.
from flash 7.0 r60.
then I reloaded the page and it showed flash 7.0

As stated by me yesterday, I deleted the flash 5 .dll and manually
installed the flash 7 .dll, and then did a (about: plugins)
and sure enough there was the shock flash 7..
but last night when going to a web site that would not load,
I again did a (about:plugins) and found not only the Flash 7
but also the flash 5 in place...
and yes I had done the flash 7 install.exe more then once...
so some place else this info is being stored...
best...

A flash test will still report the true version of the plugin you are running

However, if you go to a site that requires flash7 or higher toview, for example http://www.fxnetworks.com/ then you should be able to get in.

Or for a site that require flash 8 or higher, test it out at http://toyota.jp/

I have been playing with flash all morning - I have just started on a fresh, with new moz_home and a new firefox installation ...
There was no problem installing the Acrobat Reader and Java plugins - I then tried the flash-plugin. Skipping the Flash5 and went direct to the Flash7 installation thingie. It installed all right and FF responded (about:plugin) to it - then I copied the NPSWF32.dll into the plugin folder and edited the pluginreg.dat to "Shockwave Flash 8.0 r22" and FF resonded to that (about:plugin).
But every time I try using it I get a "Failed to load Win32 plugin".

What have I missed ?

Hi!

I'm not exactly sure what npswf32.dll did you copied into plugin dir? Cause after a right installation of that flash7 thingie you should have all flash files and also some additional dirs (as a results of running flashinst.exe once) already in plugin dir.

(ps. deleting compreg.dat and pluginreg.dat gives a fresh ones after restarting - it usualy helps with not-working-but-reporting-to-be-present-and -enabled plugins, try it first before editing the files by hand...)

I idea was to update the Flash to version 8 level - since that is the only version I have access to on WinXP - and by that avoid the R19 security breach.

OK, I tried your modification, and I can see both sites. But sometimes Firefox stops. I set things back to Flash 7.0 r61, and I can still see both sites. I think the http://toyota.jp/ is not Flash 8 only.

Flash is supported via npswf2.dll (os/2 dll) which I belive is a kind of wrapper for npswf32.dll (win dll). No surprise version 8 dll doesn't work with version 7 wrapper.

R19 security breach (?)
Can you give me a details of a single example of attack through security hole in a flash running on os/2 browser?

Ok, this is where I got the info about the toyota site: http://www.flashinsider.com/2005/08/24/flash-player-8-required-for-toyota-hybrid-city/

It looks like the first part of the site will work in 7 or 8, but if you go to this section: http://toyota.jp/bb/index.html?intobbsp.toyotajp.toptext

and push the enter button, you have to have flash 8 to continue

I verified this with two different pluginreg.dat files, so the spoof does work.

I have the Flash 7.0 r60 plugin.

To get it to work with the Jananese site, I not only had to put Flash 8.0, but I had to put Flash 8.0 r22.

The Flash statements are found in two locations in the dat file. Changed them both to Flash 8.0 r22 and the site comes up. Before it wanted me to download the latest Flash plugin.

It works on the given link but I tried to use a flash 8 chatt tool and it will not work. It looks like the sript is checking the system type before checking flash level and a flash download is tried !!

Shyguy, as you point out, the site works up to the enter button here. However, after editing PLUGINREG.DAT from Shockwave Flash 7.0 r60 to Shockwave Flash 8.0 r22 (btw, I only found one location in PLUGINREG.DAT with the version info), I still can not go beyond the enter button.

About:plugins does now show the version as Shockwave Flash 8.0 r22, but there is no change in terms of version 8 usability here.
