[Bug 16895] New: Flash does not work with new Wine-Gecko

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16895

Summary: Flash does not work with new Wine-Gecko
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.1.12
          Platform: PC-x86-64
               URL: http://steampowered.com/
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: mshtml
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

After installing flash player plugin (copying files from
~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Mozilla Firefox/plugins into
~/.wine/drive_c/windows/gecko/0.9.0/wine_gecko/plugins) flash still does not
work in Wine's iexplore and other programs using flash (ex: Steam).

The same plugin works fine with Firefox itself.

Still doesn't work in wine-1.1.20 with clean install.
Can easily be tested with:
wine iexplore http://steampowered.com

Confirmed, can anybody at least provide a hack or something?

Note that if you don't want to recompile wine and use Jacek's hack (which works
quite well by the way, thank you Jacek) I've added a workaround to enable
scrollbars, Flash, and Steam store to work without compiling in the Steam HOWTO
section.

It's a hack not a proper fix. I'm not interested in hacks, that's the whole
point of the bugzilla.

In retrospect this bug should be assigned to wine-Gecko since it's a Gecko bug
that applies to any application using Gecko. I can't find a wine-Gecko entry in
Bugzilla so could someone with the "power" :) create a Gecko bug thread and
move this thread to it? Thanks.

I don't know what makes you think it's a Gecko bug. It's definitely mshtml bug
and the hack I've attached proves that.

You are correct, my mistake. Thank you for pointing out my error (and by the
way I just added your patch to the howto as the preferred method for enabling
Flash in Steam). In any case it's not a Steam bug, it's a mshtml bug which
applies to any application that uses it. Shouldn't it be moved to another
thread? Or is it appropriate to post generic component bugs on application
specific threads? I'm new here and am unclear about bug classification
criteria.

I've got to agree with Vitaliy, but is there any chance of getting Jacek's
workaround implemented in a non-specific-to-SWF form?

I'm really surprised that there haven't been more reports of this affecting
other applications.

(Thanks to Ken for pointing my dupe here - can't believe I missed it in my
search)

BTW:  Thanks to Jacek for the hack.  It does work around the flash issue well.

Still doesn't work with latest GIT.
Tried completely new wineprefix with just wine_gecko.

Copying NPSWF32.dll into
~/.wine/drive_c/windows/system32/gecko/1.0.0/wine_gecko/plugins or using
winetricks flash doesn't change anything. Wine's iexplorer still doesn't show
flash on http://www.steampowered.com/

Still doesn't work for me either. Tried it with iexplore.exe and Steam and
Flash media didn't appear. I used Flash version 9.47 (the last version that
doesn't flicker under wine) and the latest Flash player 10.

can open a new bug.
