not sure, since I don't see why any site should be running thier siteware on client systems and don't allow flash / javascript ( clientside scripting ) in my browsers.In my experience, Shockwave flash performance under mandrake has always been not smooth.Ie, image fade in and out is jerky, and animations are jerky. You can see this if you browse to www.flash.com. The main animation, if you play a bit with it, is not perfectly smooth. I have tried installing the latest player from macromedia, and have the same result. If, however, I install mozilla 1.3a from ftp.mozilla.org, and install the same flash player, playback is perfectly smooth, and I cannot see any jerkiness. I have tried using netscape compiled 6.2.3, and playback is also perfect. What else can I test to determine the cause of bad flash playback using cooker mozilla/galeon?
a survey of 15000 people indicates that 80% of respondents leave any flash powered site immediately, so the reality is that flash plugin is not worth worrying over.
( concurrent survey had 50% not using javascript )
