flash (macromedia): Hi I just joined the flash forum because I cannot view webpages that have flash
animation . I get prompted to download flash player 8. Everytime I download
flash player 8 nothing happens. No movie tells me the installation is complete.
I just see a quiktime player sign with a question mark sign. I tried the
standone installation but nothing happens. I have removed the previous versions
of flash player from my computer and have installed flash player 8 with the
standone installation but I still cannot view webpages with flas animation. Can
anyone help me plz..........................

You get prompted for the Flash 8 player when you visit a page that has a
Flash movie that was published for Flash 8. Otherwise you would have been
able to view movies published for whatever version of the Flash player you
had installed before.

Meantime which operating system, web browser? Generally the IE install takes
you to a test page at the Adobe/Macromedia site. I cannot remember the
FireFox install, but I think it does the same.

In some cases you need to be the admin to install on computers which is
generally not a problem if the computer is your own.
