Ubuntu 9.10 flash issue

I have installed Flash plugin for Mozilla how ever some pages containing flash will not work properly. For example this game (select Camelot Defence and Play Now) when I try to click on Play Game button it will not start (neither other 2 buttons respond).

So where is the issue?

Try on another browser which supports flash for ex Opera.

It happens many times that sometimes Java and Flash don't work properly in FF.

If even in Opera you find the same, then re-install flash, or try gnash the opensource alternative to flash.

Hmm, looks like that actual issues is provided application as I found others that I have no problem to use (presumably they did they absolute path declarations in Windows style which will not work with other OS)

Open a terminal and enter:

gksudo gedit /usr/lib/nspluginwrapper/i386/linux/npviewer

Then add: export GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS=1 before the last line of text

This should fix non responsive flash buttons
