Is there a way to get 'Flash' or similar to work? I have tried Gnash and Flash beos with no luck....that is with WebPositive?

Sure. You can use/install one of these apps:

Or http://haikuware.com/directory/view-details/entertainment/internet-netwo... (you can also save flash videos)

Thanks for your help. That gets me part way there but I guess your reply suggests that Haiku may be a bit behind in this area.

I do appreciate your guidance!

But in anyway, there are these solutions to watch flash videos. Ain't a totally lack.
missing flash player is a lack (LOL)? One day (i hope soon) Haiku will get full HTML5 support ;-) Haiku's browsers - natives and written in QT - are based on WebKit.
