Are you using 64-bit or 32-bit? If 64, you need to emerge
nspluginwrapper & set up the flash player plugin (if it doesn't do it
automatically as part of the emerge)

And I will add that I believe the reason Opera works is because it
ships with its own plug-in wrapper.

Hmm I remerged nspluginwrapper and FF plays flash fine now, but
Konqueror will still complain about missing plugin. :-(

"Cannot play media.You do not have the correct version of the flash
player. Download the correct version"

I went into settings and clicked on Scan for new Plugins, but no
success. Can you play this link with Konq?

I'm not a Konqueror user and I'm not at home now so I can't try it,
but it looks like you might need an additional package for Konqueror:
kde-base/nsplugins

This shows how long its been since I had to look into/do anything about this.

I've done what Alex suggested which was to add
/usr/lib64/nsbrowser/plugins in the Konqueror plugins and then the
Scan button found a load of them in there including flash.

It plays flash fine now!

Thank you all. :-)
