If I download flashplayer6installer.exe

and point it to the dir. where phoenix.exe is located (although I don't see it in the dialog box) it works fine...

I had trouble getting my plugins to intall into Phoenix. I found the easiest method is to download and install Netscape Navigator, which comes with most of the major plugins. After a restart (necessary? who knows...), Phoenix could use the plugins. Sure, it wastes some hard drive space, but my time is more important at this point.

Download FlashPlayer6 for netscape (and Compuserve 7.0) compatible,
when it says "What browsers" choose "Others" and point it to your phoenixe/plugins directory!
That's it, you don't even have to restart Phoenix (atleast I didn't).

2nd method is, if you have Mozilla installed, the plugin installer detects the directory, install it, then copy mozilla/plugins to your phoenix plugins directory.

This should work for ANY plugin made for Mozilla/netscape

cheers

You could actually easy share plugins between different mozilla and phoenix builds, maybe it also works with Netscape, I don't know. For an article describing how to do this see:
<a href="http://www.gemal.dk/mozilla/plugins.html">this article</a>
This trick should work on all platforms, all you need to know is how to set a enviroment variable.
The page has only a description on how to do this on Windows.
