flash (macromedia): When I test OFFLINE a page of my own that includes a Flash animation, IE
executes it just fine. However, when I try to view ANY page with a Flash
animation (including the Macromedia test page), I don't see anything. The
status bar seems to show the page as forever loading but almost entirely
loaded. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling, which didn't help (but then,
as I say, it does play animations offline, so it's there). I checked the
(custom) security settings, and Run ActiveX controls and plug-ins is enabled.
Download signed plug-ins is enabled, unsigned ones set to prompt. Flash
animations are viewable ok in my other browser, Mozilla. I run WinXP. Can't
swear I'll find my way back here, so email welcome (jhaber at haberarts.com).
Thanks a lot.

Thats because you cant save flash movies from webpages online unless you buy
flash pro. Actually im thinking of quicktime pro for quicktime. Bit I dont
think you can save flash files from online anyway unless people offer it to
download.

Oops, I must have worded the question imprecisely. My apologies. I wasn't
trying to save an animation to disk. I was just trying to view different pages
(what, after all, Flash Player is for). So when I said the status bar
indicated it was forever close to 99 percent downloaded, I should have said the
page appeared always to be LOADING. I hope the problem is recognizable,
though! Thanks all,
