So I installed Flash 9 from tarball onto my computer. It works pretty well except on some sites, drop down menus will go behind images or I'll get a lot of grey in some areas. Anyone else experience that? If so, how did you fix it? Maybe there's a setting in firefox or something? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Know that you have introduced potential problems to your system installing a tar-ball. openSUSE is an rpm based system and your rpm dabase does not know about flash9.

The problems Jay describes exist even in the version from SuSE. IIRC, I encountered them with Flash 7 also. This may not be a problem with the flash player; rather it may be a problem with the flash coding posted on some sites, as it is not universal, but is restricted to only a few sites. -- Moral indignation is jealousy with a halo. -- HG Wells -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

The drop down menus going behind a Flash movie can be remedied in the page's HTML. I ran into this myself a few times. Tell the site's web team to insert <param mode='transparent'> into the object/embed tags. I think this may still not fix the problem on Safari, but who cares. At any rate, this problem is not with your Flash 9 install on Linux. Not sure about the gray areas. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
