gnash
The day Microsoft makes a product that doesn't suck, is the day they make a vacuum cleaner.

But if they tell you that I've lost my mind, maybe it's not gone just a little hard to find...

gnash
Thanks.
From
pacman -Ss gnash, I see there're two gnash packages:
gnash-common
gnash-gtkI'm using fluxbox. Which one should I use?

gnash-common is required for gnash-gtk to work, so just get gnash-gtk, and it will pull gnash-common along with it.

Thank you Wintervenom and Lifty.
I've searched both of them, and then turned out to choose swfdec, since it pauses flash by default. However, it didn't work after I installed it, youtube still claimed that I didn't have the latest version of flash player installed. Here is my command:
pacman -S swfdec-mozilla
Is there any thing that requires manual configuration?

Thank you so much moon! What a fool I am! SwfDec is now working after rebooting.

For future reference, logging out and in probably would have been enough. Or, running 'ldconfig' as root may have too.
