The problem with Flash is Adobe - their plug-in is a horribly written cpu pig. Some Flash presentations, if you right-click on 'em, you get a pop-up menu that will offer lower quality or lower bandwidth versions. Selecting one of those will sometimes help. Might be worth trying a multi-codec plug-in such as Perian. It can play some Flash stuff, and usually does a better job than Adobe's. <http://perian.org/> HTH, - Dan. -- - Psychoceramic Emeritus; South Jersey, USA, Earth --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to Low End Mac's G-Books list, a group for those using G3 iBooks and PowerBooks (we run a separate list for G4 'Books).
