15 I been having the same problem even after I updated flash. When I read
16 your message, it made me think. I did this:
17
18 root@fireball / # equery list *adobe*
19 * Searching for *adobe* ...

21 [IP-] [ ] media-fonts/font-adobe-utopia-100dpi-1.0.4:0
22 [IP-] [ ] media-fonts/font-adobe-utopia-type1-1.0.4:0
23 [I--] [??] www-plugins/adobe-flash-11.2.202.635:0

25 root@fireball / #

27 Ignore the fonts in the list. It's not related. Notice how I have two
28 versions of adobe-flash installed? I don't think that is normal. I
29 manually -C the older version and now youtube and such works fine. It
30 now looks like this:

32
33 root@fireball / # equery list *adobe*

42 You may want to see if two versions are installed at the same time. It
43 appears that if it is, it tries to use the older version. Don't ask me
44 how two versions can be installed at the same time tho. I dunno. I
45 don't think it is supposed to do that for this package tho. The command
46 I used is this:
47
48 emerge -Ca =www-plugins/adobe-flash-11.2.202.635
49
50 Yours could vary on the version so double check it for yours.
51
52 Hope that helps.
