Re: FLASH: Flash making QuickTime--why so little support

[Matt Wobensmith]

Michael -


I can see this weird behavior. So far, the only browser/OS it works on is

IE5/Win. All others fail. The movie is just black, but you can hear the

sound.


I grabbed your QuickTime file and made attempts at embedding it into my own

HTML page to see what's up. It would play fine locally ("file://") but not

from a server ("http://"). That is weird.


You have another movie on your site with Flash and QuickTime content - this

one links to it - that plays fine on all browsers. What is different about

this particular movie?
