So far, swfdec (graphics/swfdec and the plugin www/swfdec-plugin) is the only 
one that works reliably and it has a nice feature (I consider it a feature) 
that it gives you a pause screen when a flash is loaded, so that you don't 
get the flashy ads flickering your screen.

Movies from youtube "work", but they have a huge lag and it's more like a 
slideshow then a movie. However, it's more promising then any of the 
linux-flashplugin* stuff I've seen past few years and it looks like it's 
actively developed from scratch rather then trying to make Macromedia linux 
spaghetti work.

I had one crash, when a page loaded 5 different movies and during loading I 
clicked a slider control in the non-flash part of the page.
