Just a follow up to this. I just read an interview with the lead
engineer for Adobe's Flash Player team. He says the Flash 9 player for
Linux is expected for early 2007.
Read the interview at http://blogs.zdnet.com/Stewart/?p=96 (originally
linked from /. http://linux.slashdot.org/linux/06/08/30/0531253.shtml )
You can read his blog, called Penguin SWF, at
http://blogs.adobe.com/penguin.swf
He did say that they are currently working on x86 based Flash Player. If
you want something else (alternative OS, like BSD or 64 bit or PPC) to
use the Wish Form at http://www.adobe.com/go/wish rather than posting in
the Penguin SWF blog.

There is also a work around that I came across that will work with some
sites that request Flash 9.
From
http://xubuntu.wordpress.com/2006/08/14/flash-9-for-xubuntu/
1) Make a back-up of the file ~/.mozilla/firefox/pluginreg.dat:
cp ~/.mozilla/firefox/pluginreg.dat ~/.mozilla/firefox/pluginreg.dat.bak
2) Edit that file:
nano ~/.mozilla/firefox/pluginreg.dat
3) Replace the lines that say
Shockwave Flash 7.0 r63:$
to
Shockwave Flash 9.0 r63:$

Hi Robin. That's interesting. I don't access sites that use Flash much, but
have you got a link to a site that needs Flash 9, so that I can try the
workaround. Not a crude site please.
Nigel.
