konqueror and shockwave not working [solved]

hi,

i'm not sure what i have done lately but i've noticed that webpages with swf files are no longer loading.....i seem to have broken something. ie i get prompted to save the *.swf file or select the program to open it with.

hence my question.....what exactly do i need to make swf work in konqi? i have emerged netscape-flash and libswf but to no avail.

under konq settings what program should be associated with x-shockwave-flash? at the moment it has no association. or should it be left blank??

i've googled this and havent come across a definitive answer, quite frustrating!

my system is as follows:

kde 3.2, kernel 2.61

thanks!

finally got it working.....for the noobs out there this is what i did:

emerged libswf and swfdec

in konqueror -> settings -> configure konq -> file associations -> x-shockwave (under application branch)

in the embedding tab i added the following service

'netscape plug-in viewer'

and low and behold, it works

didn't happen overnight, but it did happen
