Fedora includes <code>swfdec</code> and <code>gnash</code>, which are free and open source implementations of Flash.  We encourage you to try either of them before seeking out Adobe's proprietary Flash Player plug-in software. The Adobe Flash Player plug-in uses a legacy sound framework that does not work correctly without additional support. Run the following command to enable this support:
===== For i386 =====


<pre>
Unlike earlier releases, special steps are required to install the proprietary Adobe Flash Player 10 on Fedora 10.
su -c 'yum install libflashsupport'
</pre>


If you are using Flash 10, you do not need libflashsupport anymore as the usage of ALSA has been fixed in this version.
===== For X86_64 =====


Users of Fedora x86_64 must install the <code>nspluginwrapper.i386</code> package to enable the 32-bit Adobe Flash Player plug-in in '''Firefox''', and the <code>libflashsupport.i386</code> package to enable sound from the plug-in.
Select the YUM version of the Adobe Flash Player from Adobe's download page.  This installed Adobe's software repository so that updates can be applied by the normal Fedora update process.


Install the <code>nspluginwrapper.i386</code>, <code>nspluginwrapper.x86_64</code>, and <code>libflashsupport.i386</code> packages:
Next some helper files are needed in addition to the Flash Player:


<pre>su -c 'yum install nspluginwrapper.{i386,x86_64} libflashsupport.i386'
<pre>
</pre>
su -c 'yum install flash-plugin nspluginweapper.i386 \
 
    alsa-plugins-pulseaudioi386'
Install <code>flash-plugin</code> after <code>nspluginwrapper.i386</code> is installed:
 
<pre>su -c 'yum install libflashsupport'
</pre>
</pre>
Run <code>mozilla-plugin-config</code> to register the flash plugin:
<pre>su -c "mozilla-plugin-config -i -g -v"
</pre>
Close all '''Firefox''' windows, and then relaunch '''Firefox'''. Type ''about:plugins'' in the URL bar to ensure the plugin is loaded.
