Help with Flash Problem

[Conor]

On my windows machine, when I go to a page with flash on it, the flash part just doesnt show up at all. It doesnt ask me to install the flash player which I have done multiple times but just shoes nothing where the flash would be. Any ideas?

[Stephen Philbin]

Yeah I get the same on Linux. I just ignore it though. I think flash looks cheap and tacky and I noticed that the thing I see it used for mostly now is adverts (which I obviously am not going to miss). Plus if any site doesn't have an html alternative, the chances are it's not gonna be worth looking at. (in my opinion anyway).

Check if you disabled it

[Stephen Philbin]

You can't disable what you can't install.

[Jupac]

He has it installed

[Stephen Philbin]

Ah, I thought yought you meant the both of us.

[Conor]

Where can I check that lakers?

[Conor]

anyone?

[Jupac]

In IE?

[Conor]

I dont use IE but it doesnt work in any browser

[Jupac]

IS it just like all white when you see a flash movie, because that happened to me and all i did was reinstalled the flash

[Conor]

no it doesnt show anything where the flash would be it just shows nothing and doesnt even account for the width of the movie, I've reinstalled multiple times

Hi,

I faced the same problem a couple of months ago. It was because that the flash movie in the site is made from Flash MX and the Flash player that i have installed is the older version. My problem solved when i install a new version. So try installing a new version (The latest version now is flash player 7.0).

hmm I just did that and now flash works in every browser but firefox :(

[sharkey]

Isnt that because firefox uses a different flash plugin.

[Conor]

I installed the one for netscape browsers, it works in opera,netcsape, etc..

Would it be too much to reinstall FireFox?
Then access the page it should ask you to install the plugin. Carry on from there.
