I am testing a Flash button and Mozilla Firebird and Netscape 4.7 just show
a blank white area where the flash button should be. In Opera 7 the buttons
don't show up at all. I checked for browser support and the list showed
that all these browsers are supported including IE 4+, Mozilla (all), NS 4+
and Opera. Now, I'm only testing locally. So, this might be a no-brainer,
but is this because the Flash Player might not be installed in the plug-in
folder for the above mentioned browsers? If I upload the page and view in
the problem browsers, will the Flash installer launch and install the
plug-in for the browser if this is the problem? Thanks.

This will be a bit snarky, but: did it even occur to you to just view a page
containing Flash using the browser, a page that you know works, and see
whether the browser displays the Flash movie correctly? Open
www.macromedia.com in Firebird and Navigator. If the Flash banner at the top
displays with animation, you have the Player.

Well, as obvious as that is...no, I didn't think to try. I guess it was a
little too late and I wasn't thinking. I didn't have the player installed
onto those browsers and went to the download page and installed the player.
A couple of questions though. When the Flash was embedded into the page,
shouldn't it have dectected the missing player and automatically asked the
user to install the player??

I installed version 7 of the player, but Netscape seems to be having
problems. Netscape 4.7 is generating errors whenever I view a page with
Flash. Netscape 6.2.3 doesn't display my page with Flash buttons, but does
display Flash content from other sites? Also, Netscape 4.7 displays
partially the previous page when I change to another site and each time I
get a generating error code message. I have no idea what is causing that
problem?

All other browsers I've tested are displaying the Flash content fine except
for Netscape as mentioned above. Any thoughts? Thanks for your help.

You can write such code into the HTML, but I don't know if you did. And I've
never done so myself. (I'm not an expert.) A quick search of this forum, or
just using Google or Altavista, would find such code, I'm sure.
