RE: FLASH: Flash Player 5 download problems

[Bradshaw, Brian]

So far, not really. The problem is on Windows 95. I am using the

externalEvent call in Shockwave. I'm wondering if there is a library or

utility file of some sort that just doesn;t work quite right with Shockwave.


Individually both the shockwave ap and the Flash app work perfectly. I have

just lost the external communucation ability from Shockwave. Installing the

Flash 5 player is the only thing I did to alter any elements of the browser.


The Hawaii demo seems to mostly work. Is it Shockwave and Flash?


Thanks.


Brian

Hmm... an installation of the Macromedia Flash Player 5 should not affect

Shockwave movies in any way.


I don't know the platform, but script/object intercommunication will

definitely not work in Mac versions of the Microsoft browsers.


For "Does the Macromedia Flash Player 5 support FSCommand and JavaScript

API work same as before?" then yes, it does... you might consider testing

your browser with the Hawaii demo on the CD to see if it still works. John

Are any of these confirmations of help in figuring the situation there...?
