What is the URL to the version of Flash player you downloaded?
Did you download the PPC installer or MacOSX installer?
What OS version are you running?
Does Chimera already show a Flash plugin in about:plugins?
Is there a Flash plugin in /Library/Internet Plug-ins?
Do you have Netscape 7 installed and did the installer find that?

Reporter, have you tried this with the latest nightly
(ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/chimera/nightly/latest-trunk). Try that as well.

R.Wesley, are you saying you tried to install the Flash plug-in for OS 9 to the
OS X Chimera application? That will obviously not work.

WFM with right installer

Be sure to download the correct version of flash player as the download site
preferentially gives you the player for the OS of the browser you are
downloading to.
