   Hi

Some days ago appear new problem with youtube. Each time konqueror try to play 
movie, message "Old Flash? Go upgrade!" is showed, and movie play is stopped.

Of course I have newest flash player plugin (basic dig into yt code shows that 
8.0 is enough tough). I have tested it on 3 computers with 2 different konq 
versions (4.4.2 and 4.3.5). Deeply analyzing of yt code is a horror, but 
hopefully someone did this before.

Take a look here: 
https://rentzsch.lighthouseapp.com/projects/24342/tickets/517

It seems that yt fetch flash version by directly calling plugins public 
functions, which should be should be available trough js in DOM object of 
<object>.

Testcase form this page ( 
https://rentzsch.lighthouseapp.com/projects/24342/tickets/517/a/421263/yt-
flash-version.html ) shows that konqueror didn't support this feature or it is 
buggy.

Better this features are visible i.e. here (flash movie, javascript 
controller): http://www.permadi.com/tutorial/flashjscommand/

I should fill bug report in bugzilla, but I have no idea what part of KDE is a 
problem, khtml, kjs, nspluginviewer or all of them.


I can investigate this little more, or even write some code, but I have no 
idea where I should start search appropriate code connected with this
(nspluginviewr implementation of functions connected with this (NPN_Invoke ?); 
kjs and khtml object <object> extra methods an properties)
