The backported Flash Player 11 is now upgraded to version number 11.2.202.635
I have also assembled a .pet of 23.0.0.162 for 32bit NPAPI. Thanks to Mike Walsh for originally bringing this to our attention.
This still seems to be regarded as beta. The download package offered by adobe is just the plugin lib on its own. The standard download page still offers version 11.2 to NPAPI browsers as the stable version.
Also be aware that Flash Player 23 appears to require glibc 2.15 so may not work in older puppies (including Lucid) without some modifications. Perhaps they will change this in future versions or maybe not. Some people have reported a few other problems with it so users should decide which version best meets their needs.

guys, I installed the lastest version 24 on firefox (from oscartalk), and it still doesn't work on this page https://www.adobe.com/fr/shockwave/welcome/
It's correctly activated/installed in firefox in the plugin panel
I tried to uninstall it and reinstall flash player 11 with "Get flash 1.6" but it still shows "24.0.r" inside firefox plugins and it doesn't display flash.
Anyone has an idea? It's just annoying that some sites aren't working cause of flash.

Try this adobe page for testing flash player plugin:-
http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
The version 24 (NPAPI) is a beta. It does also require a fairly recent glibc so won't work in older Puppies. Tahr should be fine though. Some websites won't display flash content with version 11 because they regard it as too old even though in Linux it is the latest and has all security updates.
In Firefox it is recommended to stick with version 11 unless you are having a problem with websites that won't display.
Uninstallation of .pet packages via PPM should work. You can remove the plugin manually from /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins if for some reason uninstallation does not delete it. In recent Puppies it is probably best to use one of the utilities such as GetFlash or the Auto Updater script. Sometimes you have to make sure the utility is updated to the latest version because Adobe makes changes to their hosting system from time to time.
In the other thread you mentioned libavcodec error messages. If you are using latest Firefox there is a thread about this. You may need to change this setting to get flash player to work and once you do this you will probably find that all versions work OK:-

Thanks a lot for spending your time answering me.
I had tried (few days ago) to delete the lib manually and it didn't seem to work but I guess it just added up with the libavcodec bug, so now everything is solved thanks to you. 3-6 months without flash was very annoying.
By the way that "gnash" alternative looks interesting considering how annoying flash is. Just dunno how to add and if it's a good idea (for ease of use, only browsing the web)
