Maxthon comes with a version of Adobe Flash to ensure the browser is able to play all Flash content upon installation, although this version isn't always the most recent. This is to ensure that any issues related to new releases of Flash don't cause issues with Maxthon. You can force Maxthon to use the most current version of Flash by following the instructions below. The most recent version of Adobe Flash is available from here: http://get.adobe.com/flash The "Allow all sites to run plug-ins" option must be enabled in Settings > Advanced. An auto-updater tool has been created by Truuuc which automates the procedures below. If you have any issues with the above, please follow the descriptions linked below. For Maxthon 5.x & 4.9.x follow the instructions in this post. For Maxthon 4.4.x and earlier follow the instructions in this post.

NOTE: The information below is for Maxthon 4.4.x and earlier releases. For Maxthon 4.9.x and later releases see this post. Update to the most recent version of Flash from here: http://get.adobe.com/flash The page will show that it has detected Chrome. If not, check that the default user agent is in use. Click "Need Flash Player for a different computer?" Select your Operating System from the dropdown menu. Select "FP for Firefox - NPAPI" to install the correct version for Maxthon to use. Press the download button on the right and let the installer run. Close Maxthon. Open up an Explorer window (Win+E) and go to the folder you installed Maxthon to then navigate to the Core\Webkit\Npplugins folder. NOTE: Default install folders are:For 32bit OS - C:\Program Files\MaxthonFor 64bit OS- C:\Program Files (x86)\Maxthon In this folder there should be a file called NPSWF32_XX_X_X_XXX.dll (the X's are the flash version). Rename (eg. append .org to the filename) or delete this file only. Renaming is the recommended option. Restart Maxthon & goto http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ The page should show the current version installed and the most recent version available, both of which should match. Maxthon is now using the current version of Flash. If everything was done correctly you should have something similar to the following image, and a Npplugins folder as below. Should the above not work, you can try copying the NPSWF32_XX_X_X_XXX.dll file from C:\Windows\Syswow64\Macromed\Flash (for 64bit) or C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash (for 32bit) and paste it into Core\Webkit\Npplugins.
