==== Two Stages to Installing Flash Player ====
There are two stages to installing Flash Player.


==== Stage 1. Install getFlash and Dependencies ====
Using the Appbrowser, install getFlash.tcz This also installs dependencies.

==== Stage 2. Install Flash Player ====
To install Flash Player, while connected to the internet, select getflash from the main menu (right click).

It may take some time for Flash Player to be downloaded. A new extension will then be created containing Flash Player.

If you have a tce directory, the extension will be created in it.

If you don't have a tce directory, the extension will be created in /tmp/tce. You will need to create a tce directory and put it there.

Restart the computer for Flash Player to work.

Run respective getflash or getFlash_beta extension again to update an existing installation. 


==== If you Install a Different Browser ====
If you install a different browser after installing Flash Player, and want Flash Player on it, delete the flash extension in the tce directory, and install Flash Player again.


==== If you want to Use Flash Player Only Sometimes ====
If you have Flash Player installed, it will display advertising.

If you don't have it installed, there may be things you want to view, but can't.

With Tinycore, you don't need to use Flash Player all of the time, but can use it when you want.

To do this, put the flash extension in /tce/optional.

When you want to use Flash Player, open the Appbrowser. Click "File," then "Install Local." Select the flash extension, then click "OK." Click "Install" or "Mount."

For Flash player to work, close the internet browser, and restart.
