Yes I have thanks,  about:plugins does not report shockwave no matter 
whether it is installed as a tar.gzip , from yum, or as an rpm.
I have tried all the alternatives and tried yum remove, deleting the .so 
by hand, played around for hours.
Then did a clean install of Fedora 12, and yum installed swf but nothing 
so installed F13 clean install and still nothing.
I did a clean install of F11 and shockwafe installed perfectly, I'm 
thinking it may be a problem with nouveau which is the only difference 
between F11 (nvidia), F12 and F13 (nouveau) on my machine.

Very strange as it installed immediately in Fedora 11 and has worked 
perfectly.

I even went as far as to copy the libflash.so file to 
/home/user/.firefox/plugins - still nothing.

One of the problems with google is that much of the Fedora and Ubuntu 
information dates back past F8 and having no time and dates is difficult 
to differentiate between latest update info and pre 2005 info.
