Running 9.10 from a fresh install.

The page at:
http://www.rapala.com/how2tv/ loads OK and the intro flash movie plays OK. There is a few icons
under the player window to choose a different lure. There is also an icon to choose from a
complete list. There should be a slider bar under the visible icons which allows you to see and
choose other icons.

Here's the annoying bit. Firefox (3.6) and Opera will not show anything in the pop-up window
(after clicking on the 'Video Playlist' icon/button) which should show a list of choices. The
slider bar under the icons doesn't show.
However in Konqueror everything works as expected. What gives? I have no problem with any other
Flash videos.

Any ideas?

Nigel

As far as me and my angling mates knew that page only worked properly with
IE, so, I assume, Konqueror must be able to cope with one of IEs quirks. I
did read on a forum, somewhere, that a few people had informed Rapala
though not a lot seems to have come of this. Not much help I know but,
you’re not the only one suffering :-/

It it quite strange as I used to be able to watch them all, but I can't remember if it was before
I did the fresh install of 9.10 (I was using 9.04).
My son has a GoS (Ubuntu 8.04 based) so I will try on that.

I think I read somewhere that flash inside firefox was affected by
the clientside windows bug. You could try executing firefox with the
GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS environment variable set to "1". You can do this
inside a bash shell by executing:
GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS=1 firefox
and using that firefox to try viewing the video.
I have no idea if this will work, but konqueror might be immune to
the issue since it doesn't use GTK.

I just tried it on my son's GoS (Ubuntu 8.04 based) box (up to date) and it works as it should.
So something is amiss with newer versions of Firefox and/or GTK/something else.
