I've got a few Fedora9(x86) systems with Adobe's flash plugin
installed.
For most websites, the flash plugin works just fine (Youtube, etc).
However, there are some websites where flash doesn't work at all.
When I end up at a website where its not working, I have a big white
square where the flash content should be, or sometimes, I get a
nasty error that I need to install Flash.
Amadeus W.M.:
I've had the same problem for some time and I kind of gave up on it.
CNN is one notorious site that doesn't work for me. Invariably, any
video either blanks out or tries to skip to the next one in the list.
However, I noticed that if I reload the page several times, it
eventually plays.
I get the same with youtube. Often I'll get Flash appear to load,
then vanish, leaving a blank space, and several page reloads will be
needed to kick it back into working. Occasionally, the failure will
happen part way into playing the file, with the same blank space
effect and reloading required. Rarely I'll be told I don't have Flash
installed, but seeing as that happens so rarely, I've put that down to
stupid webmasters doing stupid tests. And there are a few sites where
the player just never works.
Perhaps related: If on youtube I ope another page in a background tab
while playing a video, the playing video will often abort (in the
above manner).
I get the impression that the Flash player crashes really easily.

Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored. I
read messages from the public lists.
How about these sites:
https://www.citicards.com/
http://www.dbfx.com
I'm not sure what they're supposed to look like, but they seemed to work
ok.
The citicards site flashes a blue login/password rectangle in the upper
left corner and some other things, then goes all blank.
If you right click in the blank area you'd see that a "blank flash" is
taking up the entire area.
The dbfx site has an embedded flash that is supposed to show currency
prices in real time. That part I can't see, it's all blank. The rest of
the page is ok.
I believe that live currency is not flash. Mine displays properly and when
I right click there is no indication that it is flash. When I check the
page source (not that I'm any good at that) it looks like a java applet to me.
Incidentally, I uninstalled mozplugger and nspluginwrapper and cnn at
least seems to work better. Still having problems with these two sites
though. Might be some java thing?
