Yeesh, I have an apparent problem. Actually, two, I think, though they may

be the same problem, somehow ...


I'm using Communicator 4.05 on a Mac.


(Heh, that's a problem in and of itself ... :-) )

Problemo Numero Uno:


When I select Flash Player as the application I want Communicator to use to

handle swf files, the only option I have available for file type is "TEXT"

-- "SWFL" is grayed out. Eek!


And here's the weirdest thing, to me: if I select Flash 3 Player as the

application to handle *FutureSplash Player* (spl files), the "SWFL" option

IS NOT grayed out. Go figure.

Problemo Numero Dos:


Regarding the above, if I leave the file type as TEXT, OR if I select "Save

to disk", OR if I select "Unknown: prompt user", I *don't* get the

appropriate results -- instead, I get a broken link icon. And BTW I know

that the movie that I'm testing this with is NOT protected from import,

'cuz I created the whole deal, and I just re-exported and re-uploaded to be

sure. http://home.ptd.net/~unique/leafmovie.html

Not immediately being willing to attempt seeking advice or support from

Netscape (ha, have ya ever *tried* that route?! ;-) ), I'm asking for help

*here*. Anyone ever see these problems, and know what the deal is?


TNX,
