Well, this one seems to be heavily outdated.

First of all, I can't get any combination of Adobe Flash Player versions vs.
Wine version to display flash player video control on Youtube. I've got
installers for pretty much every 9.x, 10.x, 10.1.x Flash player versions that
had been ever released (they could be downloaded from Adobe Flash player
archives site -
http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/archived-flash-player-versions.html),
plus installers for 10.2.159.1 and 10.3.183.18. None of them seems to work
properly with every version of Wine I had tried to open YouTube site with.

With Wine 1.5.5 I've got almost immediate iexplore crash due to hitting some
bug in its jscript engine. In Wine 1.4 non activex versions of flash player
ranging from 10.1 up to 10.3 seem to at least load and partly work when trying
to open
http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/uninstall-flash-player-windows.html page
with Wine's iexplore - the informational box at the top of the page loads up
correctly and displays installed flash player plugin version. On the other hand
trying to open any video on youtube with this config doesn't work - a place
where flash video player is expected to appear remains blank black.

Downgrading Wine to 1.2.3 and flash player version to 9.0.47.0, creating a
fresh clean prefix and trying to test Wine iexplore there also fails: youtube
still fails, and "uninstall-flash-player-windows" page on Adobe site I had
mentioned earlier also fails to display installed flash player version and then
causes iexplore to crash in a few seconds.

Downgrading Wine to 1.2 or earlier is a bit difficult - vanilla versions fail
to compile and/or run due to changes in FreeType APIs and Co so it is required
to backport some patches in order to fix compilation problems.

I'm wondering if Flash Player had been working at all with recent versions of
Wine as from my PoV it looks like it had never worked since (at least) Wine
1.2.3 release. If there is someone out there who had been able to successfully
use Flash player with Wine recently I kindly ask him or her to post a comment
to this bug with the instructions on how to reproduce their success. Thanks in
advance.
