The socket policy plugin works on Windows...it's some permissions thing on Linux, seemingly. I imagine it shouldn't be *too* hard to solve...but I just don't know anything about Linux and what you need to do to make it work. The change in Flash was a security related change...Adobe didn't want SWFs opening random network connections to servers without explicit permission. The socket policy plugin I wrote was all about granting that permission (by serving up an XML file on a specific port). While downgrading Flash Player might be a good temporary solution, I'm pretty sure Flash Player 10 is around the corner...and it's supposed to be a fairly significant upgrade -- some 3D features, much better text support, etc. Sorry I can't be more help. -- gsamsa ------------------------------------------------------------------------ gsamsa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=194 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=50097 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/unix
