Thanks. Are you running NoScript, by any chance? I went to the site and had to tell NoScript to temporarily allow the page. Then when I clicked on a video, I had to click it again to allow Flash to work. Another one is FlashBlock. You might have to tell it to allow Flash content from this URL. -- Tom - Vista, CA ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

Thanks. First of all, on your menu bar select [Help About Plugins]. Do you see Flash? Then use SeaMonkey to visit http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/. Do you pass the Flash installation test? If the answers to both questions is Yes, then you have properly installed Flash. The message about needing the Flash player is often the result of the combination of two errors in the Web server. These are USAToday's problems, not yours. The first error is that the server is sniffing for what browser you are using by looking for Firefox. If sniffing can be justified at all, the server should sniff for Gecko. The second error is that the server has been coded to give the wrong response when sniffing fails to provide a recognized browser. Instead of telling you that you need IE or Firefox -- ignoring the fact that there are a number of other browsers in use -- it's telling you that you need Flash. The workaround for these problems is to spoof IE or Firefox. Spoofing methods have been thoroughly discussed in other threads in this newsgroup. -- David E.

I hesitate to comment since there are far more knowledgeable people here that I, but I have had trouble installing flash into SeaMonkey and found the problem to be where it placed the file NPSWF32.dll. Once I copied that file and placed it into the plugins folder for Mozilla: C:\Program Files\mozilla.org\SeaMonkey\plugins it solved my problem. Now it could be the later version does this correctly and the older version did not.
