Gnome 3.2, Epiphany, and Flash

[samsinite]

Hey Guys,

I am trying to get flash to work in epiphany. Currently though, it is working fine in firefox, any suggestions? I tried searching like mad for this but to no avail.

Thanks,
Sam

Hi, Sam:

This is the closet I found to an answer for you:

Out of the box, Epiphany 3 cannot load www-plugins/adobe-flash because the browser links to Gtk±3 while the plugin links to Gtk±2. On amd64, there is a workaround: if you emerge adobe-flash with USE=-64bit, the plugin will be called through www-plugins/nspluginwrapper, avoiding incompatibility between Gtk+ versions. On x86, unfortunately there is no good workaround at this time; we suggest using a gtk2-based browser (such as www-clients/firefox or www-clients/chromium).

Based on other posts around the web, they all seem to agree that flash will only work with Epiphany on 64 bit systems, and then only if you use the 32 bit flash plugin with nspluginwrapper.
