    I'm reasonably sure that flash for Maxthon 3 has to be installed in a particular way with part of the installation involving copying and pasting a file into Maxthons plugins folder. If you have Max 3 I'll give you more info on this. (Thanks to mnshiner).

    Maxthon 4 may involve a similar process but I don't have that version anymore and I can't remember.

    Maxthon 5 probably just updates flash the same as every other browser these days as it's a modern version.

    Flash has to be removed correctly to ensure the following re-installation isn't corrupted by left over bits from the previous installation. See here.

    Maxthon 3 has two modes (retro and ultra), for compatibility with older design websites I think. Have you tried switching to the other mode if you have that option?

    Chrome will fight you to the death when it comes to flash. You might just have to let it do what it wants to.

    Other browsers may be a bit more compliant.

    Cool. Don't be too hopeful too soon though, it may still turn round and kick you in the butt. But fingers crossed for flash goodness.

    Thank you sir.  ; )
