I feel your pain. Until just recently I had this same problem. I downloaded the plugin from Macromedia and installed it (in my personal Netscape plugins directory). I had Konq scan for it. It found it without problem. Still I got those annoying popups, one for each <EMBED> in a page. I don't know exactly what I did, but I was fiddling with the file associations in Control Center when it started to work. Try going to Control Center, File Browsing, File Associations. Expand "application". Pick x-shockwave-flash. Pick the "Embedding" tab. Mine was set to "Use settings for 'application' group". I changed that to "Show files in embedded viewer". I think I also had to add or move to the top the "Netscape plugin viewer" in the Services Preferences Order. For good measure I repeated this treatment for the "futuresplash" entry, also in the "application" group. Let me know if this works for you!
