UPDATE: Commenters report this as the solution:
Flash >
\sudo \apt-get install libcurl3:i386
The remainder of this page may also help. I have not tested this and have since abandoned this project.
Firstly, why in the motherfucking hell can I view a swf using my browser online but not use my browser offline to view an offline swf? This is madness.
I can download something, according to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FlashPlayerStandalone
I visit was www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html and note that although the top of this page claims there is, there is no 64bit projector.

Tested on Lubuntu (Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS), updated recently.
Attempting to run it gave a complaint. Every time it complained, I did something like so:
\dpkg -S libXcursor.so.1
It would give me output like so:
libxcursor1:amd64: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libXcursor.so.1.0.2 libxcursor1:amd64: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libXcursor.so.1
One of these lines will be appropriate. Take it, and look at the left. Replace amd64 with i386 and install that. Like so:
\sudo \apt-get install libxcursor1:i386
The complete list of stuff I had to install was:
\sudo \apt-get install \ libglib2.0-0:i386 \ libxt6:i386 \ libxcursor1:i386 \ libnss3:i386 \ libgtk2.0-0:i386 \ ` # `
However, this doesn’t work. I can launch it, but when I attempt to open a swf I get I get:
(flashplayer:3371): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: instance with invalid (NULL) class pointer
(flashplayer:3371): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_signal_handlers_disconnect_matched: assertion 'G_TYPE_CHECK_INSTANCE (instance)' failed
UPDATE: Commenters report this as the solution:
\sudo \apt-get install libcurl3:i386
sudo apt-get install libcurl3:i386
…and it works
I tried it on MINT
Thanks for the tip, I’ll have to try that out.
It makes sense for it to depend on something like that, for an swf that fetches remote content.
Thank you so much both of you! Works like a charm with all packages installed.
That’s great to hear. I’ve updated the page.
