Hi Folks, on accessing the Lounge via a bookmark where my log-in details are remembered, I occassionally get a pop-up stating Shockwave Flash Player has not responded (or words to that effect) with the option of clicking 2 boxes but don't remember what they are for.
The reason I ask is, I read somewhere, SFP is not now required so I deleted it.

I still have unresolved SFP problems.

I've tried many suggestions but it still rears it's head occasionally, but not while accessing the Lounge. I think it's a Mozilla problem but only a guess, since many hits on Google mentions Firebird.

Re: Shockwave Flash Player
Hi Bob, thanks for your speedy reply. I do use Firefox as my default browser. I mainly use my Laptop and use the keyboard for scrolling pages to save battery power on my cordless mouse and it can be rather jerky in moving. Could this be related to NO SFP being installed.
Never heard of 'Firebird' till now.

Re: Shockwave Flash Player
I don't know whether this writeup is of any assistance? I had thought that Macromedia Shockwave Plash Player was long ago renamed Adobe Flash Player...

Re: Shockwave Flash Player
The only place where Eileen's Lounge uses Flash Player is the clock in the upper right corner of the Portal page:
If you don't have Flash Player installed, you'll see a blank rectangle instead of the clock.
@John Gray: the term "Shockwave Flash" is still used by Adobe Flash Player in some dialogs; they have probably been left unchanged all those years.

Re: Shockwave Flash Player
I see the clock without any problem.
I thought SFP & AFP were different as both showed in Programs and Features when both were installed.

Re: Shockwave Flash Player
I'm confused. I have Shockwave Flash and Shockwave for Director installed as Firefox plugins, but not Adobe Flash Player. These are what get updated whenever I go to Adobe for Flash Player updates.
And where does HTML5 fit in as the now preferred substitute for Flash?

Re: Shockwave Flash Player
Shockwave Flash is the "internal" name that is still used for Adobe Flash Player.
Shockwave for Director is hardly used nowadays - I think you can safely uninstall it from the Programs and Features control panel.
