when you temporarily rename your ~/.mozilla folder or try it with a different user, do you see the same problem?
Can you open swf files through Dolphin? Can you open them from the flash player application directly?
I haven’t tried Dolphin, but Konqueror doesn’t work
I can’t open files from the flash player application.
When I run the application on the command line, it acts broken:
[nathan@ebisu ~] flashplayer /home/nathan/raid/media/flash/JBI.swf
WARNING: environment variable G_FILENAME_ENCODING set and it is not
UTF-8
sh: pactl: command not found
Segmentation fault
However, pactl is the controller program for pulse audio, included in
pulseaudio-utils. I installed that package from the repos.
Now when I run the command I get this:
[nathan@ebisu ~] flashplayer /home/nathan/raid/media/flash/JBI.swf
WARNING: environment variable G_FILENAME_ENCODING set and it is not
UTF-8

Other flash movies I downloaded do the same thing.
Hmm, I got it to work by uninstalling libflashsupport. Probably one of
the dependencies for that got uninstalled when I upgraded (OpenSUSE
seems to ‘have lots of problems with doing an upgrade install’
(http://tinyurl.com/axfmyx)).
If I have time I’ll try and figure out what dependency is missing.

I used to do that, but every time I would lose some customized file in

Thanks, that fixed it. Looks like I was missing a few other pulseaudio
packages. Maybe the OpenSUSE updater should run that command before it
finishes

Glad it solved the problem for you. I was pointed to it by oldcpu, who,
I believe, is enjoying a vacation.
