Re: FLASH: linux installation problem

[Gregg Caines]

I don't know for certain, but Macromedia is probably using

Flash 5 SWFs now, so (since there is no Flash 5 player for 

Linux) you were probably detected by a sniffer and passed

on to an HTML-only version of the site.


It should work on a site that uses Flash 4 plug-ins, assuming

your player supports Flash 4.
