Re: FLASH: Plugin instalation problems

[Nigel Randsley-Pena]

Warren,


Yes Opera is very cool. The installation file at 1.29Mb is smaller than

some plugins we both know and love ;), it's fast and because it doesn't

come from the US it includes strong cryptographic security from the

origin, plus it can be used in countries where US origin products can

not be used, and this is important for some of us that have clients in

those countries.

Macromedia players are only targeted for Microsoft and Netscape based

browsers, but it shouldn't be to hard for Macromedia to support other

browsers outside of these categories, what would it take ? One week's

worth of programming probably ?

Anyway, Opera does work with the latest versions of Flash and Director

plugins but if anyone wants to have a site handy to test installation I

don't recommend using either Macromedia's base site or Shockwave site.

Macromedia's site insists on displaying the alternate page and Shockwave

is a bit unstable under Opera or Opera is unstable viewing Shockwave.

One site that does allow for quick and easy testing is nightwares as it

has both flash and director content.
