Oh! Now I see it. And I think I've figured out something. If you start viewing the page with Flashblock enabled, the site sets a cookie that does not get cleared if you then disable Flashblock. That prevents displaying the Flash presentation. I cleared all news.com.au cookies, disabled FlashBlock, and accepted ALL images (not merely those from the domain I was viewing). Then I reloaded the page. I was able to view the Flash video. Strangely, when Flashblock was enabled, I did not see the circled-f icon indicating the presence of a Flash presentation. -- David E.
