Well, you don't use WebKit with flash. You use flash with a browser. Assuming you downloaded what I think you downloaded from Adobe's site, you downloaded a binary browser plugin in a standard format (so that it can be used by all (for a certain value of "all") browsers). The way you go about using libflashplayer.so is that you first build a browser of your liking (again, assuming that browser supports the above mentioned "standard plugin format"). Then you install the browser and, depending on how exactly you built it, where you installed it, and what changes (if any) you made to the code before building, the browser will look for its plugins in a list of locations. You put libflashplayer.so in one of those locations so the browser can find it and you tell the browser to load and use the Flash plugin. The exact details of the last three steps depend on the browser. -- Svi moji e-mailovi su kriptografski potpisani. Proverite ih. All of my e-mails are cryptographically signed.
