Glad it worked out. Also  yeah, I have to try the Win vers.  of Firefox
and Opera under WINE. Currently I'm just  running Internet Exploiter
under WINE.

I also got it to work under the Linux version of Firefox by installing
the Windows Flash 9 plugin under a Demo version of Crossover ...
http://codeweavers.org Crossover is essentially WINE in a nice wrapper.
However, Crossover is not free but there is a free demo version that you
can play around with.

However,since you have it working fine directly under WINE  you're all
set.
