Try the beta 9 version:
Download:
http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer9.html
Unpack it and dump "libflashplayer.so" in "/home/user/.mozilla/plugins/" (create it if you don't have it).
The stable one(Flas 7) is ultra outdated.

or had to tinker with setting up alternatives

Thinker about "alternatives"? You just need to press "2" and Enter ;)
I prefer it because it allows me to use both (most people will not need that though).

Murtagh, I've split your post from the previous thread because it deals with a question thats different from the one in the other thread.
