Can't Click Play/Pause in Flash (Youtube etc) on Ubuntu?

If you can't click buttons etc on flash videos in Ubuntu here is the fix from: http://helpforlinux.blogspot.com/2009/11/i-cannot-click-on-flash-in-ubuntu.html
I have Ubuntu 9.10 64-bit and it worked for me.

Hit ALT+F2 and enter the below line

gksudo gedit /usr/lib/nspluginwrapper/i386/linux/npviewer
Add the following line BEFORE the last line of text
export GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS=1
Save.
Restart any applications using flash
