flash satay test in firefox on Linux, bug?

pbhj · 05-23-2006, 05:48 PM

Hey all, I realise this may not be the best forum for this, but I'm trying to get a flash movie to play in FF on Linux (Slack 10+, KDE, 2.6.16, FF 1.5.0.2, flash 7,0,63,0)

The flash version check page (http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/knowled...fm?id=tn_15507, and others) shows OK.

My page shows fine in Konq and Opera (though I have a grey border in Opera).

Nothing in the fox though? What gives??

Does it come up with a White box where the Flash should be? If this is the case, it's likely a problem with the HTML code of the webpage. Off the top of my head, I can't remember the exact html code but I had a similar problem with a webpage I had done.

No, no white box. It could be incorrect coded XHTML but it passes validation and works in several other browsers (as I said). It doesn't even show my alternate image.

I've compared my code with that of others that works and I can't see an obvious difference.

Looks fine to me... Flash on Arch.

The check returns true in firefox? if not you may have to link plugins

thanks ethics, I assume you mean your using FF on Arch Linux?

Strange that the plugin works with the macromedia (adobe) site, but not for my own, do you have adblock installed (I thought that might be the problem?).

Cheers, thanks for the feedback.
