Running Adobe Flash on Wine
See Wine AppDB entry:
And Bugzilla entries:
search bugs.winehq.org for bugs that mention "flash" - most of the hits are unrelated, but it's hard to do a more precise search
(These notes below should be in the Wine AppDB, but are not all yet. )
Adobe Flash dates back to 1993. It is the authoring tool for .swf 'movies' which are the most common way to add interactive graphics to web sites. Many web developers cannot move to Linux without it.
