| Have you noticed that you now have a flash 7 plugin for your browser (mozillafamily)? It has for my part passed in silence. Have you other guys heard of it?? I just installed it via the very nice OS2 Mainlance Tool by Zolt Kadar. I don't know who has made this new plugin, if it is Zolt Kadar himself or... I haven't given it a thourough test of course, but I could just now open a page I haven't been able to open before. This makes me happy!! |

| I've been using the flash7 plugin for a while now. It has a memory leak. bumping up to 512mb RAM and installing the Flash Block extension helped. Of Course, Macromedia recently released flash 8, so we're back to the catchup game.. |

Just for a bit of maybe accurate rumour-mongering:- Innotek "ported" Flash7 but were unable to release it due to some license restrictions - price mainly if I remember correctly. After a bit of a clamour about the existence of a working Flash7 for OS/2 Innotek and Macromedia between them explained the "Why Nots" regarding Innotek being unable to release the software. Very shortly after this what should popup on an obscure website somewhere in Eastern Europe? - No, No prizes for guessing Wonder how it got there? - and Who put it there? Not sure how anyone knew it was there, possibly a notification/posting somewhere maybe on os2world.

Well , I've used it for a while now and it really sucks memory. I installed flashblock and it helped a bit. But when you start looking at some bigger flashpart on some site it just runs away(I got lots of RAM but it just sucked away!); you have to know what your looking at. I'm going back to flash 5 but I did a little change I never thought of before, and that is to edit the pluginreg.dat and change the statement "Shockwave Flash 5.0 r67" to "Shockwave Flash 7.0 r67". Now it seems to report that I have flash 7 and I can enter stupid sites that otherwise won't let me in before upgrading. |

| Yup, I've run into the same memory difficulty with the Flash 7 plugin, if I just leave it long enough it not only seems to eat up huge amounts of memory, but also eventually freezes my system completely requiring a reboot. Thanks for the tip on the Flash 5 in the Pluginreg.dat! I'm going to give that a try and see how well it works. |

| I don' know if you misunderstand me or if it is the opposit. To clarify: After I have reinstalled the flash 5 plugin, and restarted Firefox the pluginreg.dat is updated and if I type "about:plugins" Flash 5 is reported as the actual plugin. When I visit certain pages/sites (eg one of my internetproviders site) they won't let me in. I get a message that I have to upgrade to flash 6. Well, just for testing purposes I changed the caption of my flash5-plugin in pluginreg.dat as described earlier and restarted firefox again. The result seems to be that my flash 5 plugin is reported to other websites as a flash 7-plugin, and suddenly I am able to enter the same earlier closed site. |

| A flash test will still report the true version of the plugin you are running However, if you go to a site that requires flash7 or higher toview, for example http://www.fxnetworks.com/ then you should be able to get in. Or for a site that require flash 8 or higher, test it out at http://toyota.jp/ |

| I have been playing with flash all morning - I have just started on a fresh, with new moz_home and a new firefox installation ... There was no problem installing the Acrobat Reader and Java plugins - I then tried the flash-plugin. Skipping the Flash5 and went direct to the Flash7 installation thingie. It installed all right and FF responded (about:plugin) to it - then I copied the NPSWF32.dll into the plugin folder and edited the pluginreg.dat to "Shockwave Flash 8.0 r22" and FF resonded to that (about:plugin). But every time I try using it I get a "Failed to load Win32 plugin". What have I missed ? |

Hi! I'm not exactly sure what npswf32.dll did you copied into plugin dir? Cause after a right installation of that flash7 thingie you should have all flash files and also some additional dirs (as a results of running flashinst.exe once) already in plugin dir. (ps. deleting compreg.dat and pluginreg.dat gives a fresh ones after restarting - it usualy helps with not-working-but-reporting-to-be-present-and -enabled plugins, try it first before editing the files by hand...) greetings/2 |

I idea was to update the Flash to version 8 level - since that is the only version I have access to on WinXP - and by that avoid the R19 security breach. |

Flash is supported via npswf2.dll (os/2 dll) which I belive is a kind of wrapper for npswf32.dll (win dll). No surprise version 8 dll doesn't work with version 7 wrapper. R19 security breach (?) |

To get it to work with the Jananese site, I not only had to put Flash 8.0, but I had to put Flash 8.0 r22. The Flash statements are found in two locations in the dat file. Changed them both to Flash 8.0 r22 and the site comes up. Before it wanted me to download the latest Flash plugin. |

Shyguy, as you point out, the site works up to the enter button here. However, after editing PLUGINREG.DAT from Shockwave Flash 7.0 r60 to Shockwave Flash 8.0 r22 (btw, I only found one location in PLUGINREG.DAT with the version info), I still can not go beyond the enter button. About:plugins does now show the version as Shockwave Flash 8.0 r22, but there is no change in terms of version 8 usability here. |

SUCCESS!!! I am testing this with Firefox 1.5, which blocks getting past the enter button because it detects it as a popup. This is part of Firefox's newer more aggressive approach to popups. When you click on the enter button, Firefox places a popup icon on the status bar. When you click on the icon, you have the choice to allow the popup, or continue blocking it. When I allowed the popup, Flash coninued to the next screen for the player. Sooooo, success. |
