[cw-discuss] Linux/Windows Flash player conflict

[Matt Jordan]

Hello,

I'm trying out CrossOver to see if I can run my pet Windows app, 
KoolMoves (a Flash authoring tool I use for making animated cartoons).  
So far that part is going swimmingly.  I'm a beta tester for KoolMoves 
and have the next release, 6.0, running almost flawlessly under 
CrossOver on my Ubuntu Edgy.

In order to take full advantage of KoolMoves (KM), I did have to install 
the Windows version of the Flash player, as KM couldn't recognize the 
Linux version (presumably since it lives beyond the "C drive").  The 
problem is that now, when I'm just surfing the web normally with FireFox 
on Ubuntu, any Flash content triggers CrossOver and the Windows plugin.  
I've tried resetting the associations on the Linux side and in the FF 
browser, but upon visiting a Flash page the FF setting reverts to the 
CO/Windows Flash plugin.  It's mostly an annoyance - especially since 
the Windows version can't seem to play but one page or tab of Flash at a 
time - but it's one I'd like to solve.  (Basically, I want CO to be 
quiet unless I'm specifically using it to do something, namely, my work 
in KoolMoves.)

I'm sure there must be some way to go in and stop the Windows plugin 
from taking over, but I don't know where to look.  Any help would be 
appreciated.

Thanks,

Matt Jordan
