I tried to install "flashplugin-installer" in ubuntu but it didn't work for me.

What do you recommend for a Flash plugin? Swfdec? Gnash? Any others?

What are their pros and cons?

Edit

I can't use the Adobe version because this happens.

i'd recommend 'flashplugin-nonfree' or 'ubuntu-restricted-extras'. The other flash plugins might be ideologically purer (the main advantage) but for most part, the adobe flash plugin has the best functionality.

Adobe Flash plugin works very good. Maybe you should explain what did you do, and what do you mean by "didn't work" (at all or just some flash objects), so somebody can help you to solve this.

Ok , this scripts automates the installation of flash plugin for firefox and removes the exiting version from the machines and install a clear version of flash and adds a plugin to firefox flash.sh

(-1). Please explain briefly what the script does. Asking people to execute a script, with no explanation as to what it does, sets a dangerous precedent. – nagul Sep 11 '09 at 9:08
Thanks. I've removed my downvote. – nagul Sep 11 '09 at 12:01
