Adobe has announced that the initial release of Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard includes an earlier version of Adobe Flash Player than what is available from Adobe.com.
Adobe recommends all users of Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard and Flash Player update to the latest, most secure version of Flash Player (10.0.32.18).
Flash Player (10.0.32.18) is available for download from http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer.

Or you could install Clicktoflash and eliminate this resource sucking parasite from your web pages. Very nice
apple got flash right with the iphone.
still crappy
yep, click2flash is really great, it also saves a lot of battery life on mmobile macs.
Note to web page creators: Quite using flash…
Quite was a little long… quit
60 seconds seems sooo long
I seem to often hit Web sites with flash animations that don’t display properly. For example, the site for Kia vehicles just shows up blank in both Safari and Firefox. Is that a bug affecting Flash Player on the Mac OS?
HA! “pfffffffffft” hit the nail on the head.
@ Islandgirl,
Chances are that’s some MS code that’s doing that.
Flash is gonna be history soon. If anyone here has seen the latest web technologies, they know what I’m talking about. Absolutely amazing stuff going on right now. Check it out:

Or just remove the flash files entirely (from /Library/Internet Plug-Ins) and be done with it.

wow all my time ‘wasted’ on MDN suddenly feels justified…..i love you…i am in love with this click2flash. how long has this been around? nevermind. as a bonus, it lets you download youtube h.264 vids! not bad.
Thankyou for the click2flash link. Awesome.
@Big Als MBP
Chances are that’s some MS code that’s doing that.
You mean the Web site is only written for Internet Explorer? Yuck.
You’ve always been able to download youtube videos using safari and osx. Just open the activities window while a video buffers, looke for the largest file size, copy the url, then paste it into the downloads window. Voila! The video will download to your desktop or downloads folder.
@ Islandgirl–
That’s Safari trying to protect you from buying a crappy car.

I TRULY HATE COMPANIES THAT TRY TO FORCE THEIR WEB PAGE VISITORS TO USE FLASH.
Chipotle I’m looking at you!
If you can’t make your webpage in pure HTML at least as an option, then don’t make a web page at all.
@Islandgirl
There is nothing wrong with safari… as TheConfuzed1 beat me to it… its protecting you from buying a crappy car.
@TheConfuzed1 & jtc
Haha. But actually, the Kia Soul has gotten good reviews from car writers. So has the new Forte. Hyundai owns Kia and both brands have grown up and away from their original reputations. Decent warranties, too.
I’m not planning to buy right at this moment. But it doesn’t cost anything to read about what’s on the market.
The problem is many really great interactive applications for children are written in Actionscript/Flash. Schools use them extensively.
@ anaknipedro –
yes that’s true, but flv files are a PAIN to convert, and getting the h264 version is hit or miss. with this method, there’s a direct link. beautiful
The beauty of Clicktoflash is that it even makes MDN snappy. I am actually able to run my ancient G4 Cube with Safari 4 and not go crazy with endless “loading” BS. I can say that it saved my beautiful Cube from the dumpster. Very nice
Pity Flash is a necessary evil – still cranks the fans on my MacBook every time I load a flash site even under Snow Leopard – is this the best Adobe can do?
Cheers.
P.S.
I love Click2Flash – it has made browsing so much more enjoyable – almost like when the web was young!
