Question

Flash not displaying correctly for only one web site

In the last 3 or 4 days I seem to have problems with the flash content of one single web site not displaying correctly from my laptop.  I have the same problem from both IE (version7.0.5730.11) and from FF (3.5.8).  The site works fine from my desktop system so it's not the site specifically.  The site (www.transparent.com/wotd/today/spanish.htm) has an embeded flash segment that does not display correctly and thus I can't click on two of the embedded buttons.  It also does not display the background pattern for the flash.  I'm running flash 10.0.45.2 based upon right clicking from within the embedded flash which takes me to the Adobe page with my version info.  The Adobe page seems to display fine.

As far as I know I'm not having problems with another instance of flash - only this site.

Any thoughts on how to diagnose the problem?  I've not added any new programs since this website stopped working but do have some background "tune up" programs that run.  I'm assuming some settings are out of wack but don't know where to start looking.  Any help folks woulc provide would be appreicated.

    Hi, Did the site work before 3 or 4 days ago?  The "tune up" programs that run, do they also run on the desktop?

    There may be a conflict with the web site and the "tune up" program, especially if the web site has updated their technology for the latest Flash Player vs 10.0.45.2.

    Just a possibility and something to check out.

    thanks,

    Yes, the same tuneup programs run on both the desktop and laptop.  They basically look for broken links, clean the registry, check for disk fragmentation, etc.

    What sort of things would cause a flash element in a website to not display correctly on a remote system?

    Well, that is hard to tell. Like I said the website may have updated their technology. Just because it works with the Desktop, doesn't mean there is not a reason that the laptop might not have a problem. You have 2 different systems and

    most likely different configurations.

    You may want to check Tools and in the add ons for both, look for Shockwave Flash Object...ActiveX Control..Flash10e.ocx should be installed and enabled.

    Also for each check C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash  Right click the Flash folder and make sure for IE that the files are vs 10.0.45.2 by checking the properties.

    If you have the correct Flash files and the correct SWO then, some other cause would be looked at.

    It has been my experience to not "assume", but verify:-)

    Thanks,
