Adobe releases beta of Flash for Linux.
Until now, the newest Flash player was not optimized to work on Linux operating systems. This meant that Linux users were limited to Revver’s QuickTime option. Well, now Linux users can download a beta of Flash Player 9!
Adobe on Wednesday released a beta of a Flash Player 9 for Linux and said that it is working on 64-bit editions of Flash… The beta of Flash Player 9 for Linux supports most of the features except a full-screen mode and support for SSL (secure sockets layer) encryption… The final Flash Player 9 on Linux is due early next year.
By the way, everyone will soon have more options for sharing as we’re adding a quicktime embed option to Revver 1.0. So you’ll be able to choose Flash or QuickTime.

I have the latest flashplayer 9 beta installed (and I can play e.g. the videos on myspace).
But when I try to play a video in revver, I get an empty page saying “get the latest flash player”. That sucks.
raycast,
We checked out the site with Flash 9 beta for Linux and weren’t able to duplicate the problem. As this is a beta version of the player, you may want to get in touch with Adobe about any potential issues.
