John,

Just so you understand the issue here.
Under Windows open Netscape and don't load Java.
Direct your browser to a page that contains a Flash file that uses
LiveConnect.
The page will start to load and the browser will also start loading
Java.
During this process if these conditions are followed you will experience
a crash.
If before opening the page with Flash you have Netscape load java and
then you load the page then no crash will occur.
This is a 'feature' that exists for a very long time. Every time it
occured I used to send Netscape the result captured by TalkBack. I
stopped doing this after I got a reply from them stating it was a
problem with the Flash player. As I also have an old reply from
Macromedia saying it's a problem with Netscape I've just placed this in
the 'standard features' section ;).
Other plugins that also use Live connect do not exhibit this behaviour.

Nigel
