Get it Here

Finally we can use Native Flash 9 for the Sites that Demand It!!

And good thing Adobe bought Macromedia, cuz the Latter was Reluctant to Release an Updated Version of Flash for Linux.

The Current Version uses ALSA Sound :))

subbzzz, Adobe Flash is a proprietary software, nothing to be proud about.
Let's not discuss NON OpenSource Software here.
