If you're using the Adobe product
rather than an alternate Flash rendering app,

you've already surrendered on the security and privacy fronts.

When last I posted, I was unable to play videos on SM 1.1.16, but here's
   an update.

Went to:  http://www.uspoledance.com/ and was ABLE to view the video

Went to: http://www.jacquielawson.com/ and, after signing in, was NOT
able to view the video.

This is becoming very frustrating as so many sites use flash to get
one's attention even when it's not a video. So when I encounter the
problem, I have to switch to Firefox.

Any help would be much appreciated. I do not want to transfer to FF
because I do not have the time for the learning curve.

TIA


So is your problem flash-related or are the videos windows media format 
or anything like that?

regards

Martin
