OK, Im sure this has been covered a dozen times, but my scans of the listdon't come up with anything.
I just recently brought up F14 on one machine. Netscape is there, but when I go to watch a video from Netscape it tells me This CNN feature is optimized for Adobe Flash Player version 10.1 or higher.
I push the buttons as requested, and Flash seems to be LOADED, but not connected to Netscape. What do I do??? I remember a screen where you had to set these things 'on' in a previous Netscape, but cant find that screen in the current one.
Thanks in advance.

F14 was EOLed some time ago, meaning it won't get any more support, even for serious bugs. Consider moving to F15 or F16.

May I suggest going to Adobe's download site and installing their repo. Then it's just a matter of yum install flash. That way you will be notified of any flash security issues whenever Adobe updates their rpm packages. Hardly a month goes by without a new security issue being found in Flash.
If I were you, I would consider upgrading your system. F14 reached End Of Life back about December 2011. F14 will not get any more security or bug fixes.
If you are reluctant to upgrade to F15/16/17 to avoid dealing with Gnome 3 teething pains then consider a different distribution. Scientific Linux and CentOS are both based on RHEL which is itself based on Fedora. Both SL6.2 and Cos6.2 still use the Gnome 2 interface because RHEL 6.2 uses it.
Another side benefit to moving to an RHEL based distribution is that they have a 10 year support window instead of the Fedora 18 month window. By the time they reach EOL Gnome 3 should have figured out all the bugs and "features" that are an issue at the moment.
Fedora is awesome, for what it is, which is a test and development bed for RHEL. If you don't need bleeding edge software or if you require a more stable platform over time then Fedora probably isn't your best choice. I've been using Red Hat Linux since when you had to install it from a stack of floppy disks because CD drives had not been invented yet. First Red Hat up to RH9 when they stopped releasing install CDs, then Fedora up to F14, and now CentOS 6.2.
YMMV

Why do you wat to use an obsolete program like Netscape? That certainly was not installed with your F14. Firefox is what is there to use.

OK, I didn 't notice that. YES, FIREFOX is what I'm using, somehow when I typed it it came out Netscape (sorry for the confusion).
But YES I do want to run F14, when RedHat starts paying me to debug the Fedora Code for them Ill run something a bit more current. But right now my impression is that trying to run the new Gnome 3 on my multiboot machines would cause more problems than its worth. Mabe after a year of debugging then Ill try it.

So you prefer to use obsolete code that no-one maintains any more? Interesting.
BTW, F15 is Gnome 2.

Umm, every box I've seen running F15 that's running Gnome is running Gnome 3...
My mistake. I don't use any version of Gnome so I was relying on memory.
