However, for those of us that use Chrome, there is no way to updated to the latest 10.2 beta of Flash; Chrome uses its own copy of Flash that comes built-in and cannot be externally updated. These steps below will guide you through the process of using Flash Player 10.2 with Google Chrome on OS X:<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Step 1: Download and install Flash Player 10.2<\/strong>\n<p>Click <a href=\"http:\/\/download.macromedia.com\/pub\/labs\/flashplayer10\/flashplayer10_2_p2_32bit_mac_111710.dmg\" rel=\"follow\">here<\/a> to begin the download of Flash Player 10.2 beta. If the link breaks in the future, you can probably find the latest copy <a href=\"http:\/\/get.adobe.com\/flashplayer\/\" rel=\"follow\">here<\/a>, instead. Download it, mount the DMG, and run the installer.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>Step 2: Delete Chrome&#8217;s Existing Plugin<\/strong>\n<p>Shut down Chrome (which means, save a copy of this guide to the disk, first!), and open Finder. Browse to the Google Chrome application in the Applications folder, right-click it, and choose &#8220;Show Package Contents&#8221; Proceed to browse to<\/p>\n<pre style=\"display:inline\">Contents\/Versions\/<\/pre>\n<\/p>\n<p> and then open the latest version number available. Continue to<\/p>\n<pre>Google Chrome Framework.framework\/Internet Plug-Ins\/<\/pre>\n<\/p>\n<p> and delete &#8220;Flash Player Plugin for Chrome.plugin&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>Step 3: Install the Latest Flash Player Plugin<\/strong>\n<p>Open a new Finder window and browse to<\/p>\n<pre>\/Library\/Internet Plug-Ins\/<\/pre>\n<\/p>\n<p> then copy and paste &#8220;Flash Player.plugin&#8221; and &#8220;flashplayer.xpt&#8221; to the Desktop. On the desktop, rename &#8220;Flash Player.plugin&#8221; to &#8220;Flash Player Plugin for Chrome.plugin&#8221; and then move both of these files to the first Finder window you opened, which should still be at the &#8220;Internet Plug-Ins&#8221; subfolder of the Google Chrome package.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<p>Turn on Chrome, and verify that everything works!
