Re: Adobe Flash

What exactly shows up when you try to load a Scratch project on the website? :S

Re: Adobe Flash

Right. So when you try to view a project, what do you see?

Re: Adobe Flash

Then you probably haven't installed the Flash plugin. Do flash applets on any other site work?

Re: Adobe Flash

Try going on this page. Does it display a little animation at the beginning that says "Successfully installed" ?

Re: Adobe Flash

Oh, I've seen this problem before!  I've got it one one of my computers!

Flash is installed, and works on all other websites.  But when one attempts to view a Scratch project, Scratch doesn't recognize that Flash is installed and shows a thumbnail.  Mousing over the image shows "You need Adobe Flash to play this."

That being said, I have no idea how to fix it.   hmm

Re: Adobe Flash

I like IE 9 too much.  I use Internet Explorer 9 in Compatability Mode.  Does that have to do with anything?

Oh yeah, that glitch.  IE force-closes, eh?  Hmm.   hmm

Are you using a 32-bit or 64-bit browser?

Re: Adobe Flash

Perhaps you need a different browser. IE has many shortcomings.

Re: Adobe Flash

I like IE.  Will it mean i HAVE to have Chrome to play around with Scratch 2.0?
Also, I can usse Flash on other websites.  Is it Scratch that has a glitch?  I would like a Scratch Team member to respond.

If you want a Scratch Team member to respond, try reporting it.   smile

My tentative guess is that the flash files are stored at a location Scratch doesn't recognize--although I could be totally incorrect.   hmm

Well, that was someone else's computer that had the glitch.

I have it working on Windows XP and Windows 7; if you have one of those operating systems, I might be able to help.

Re: Adobe Flash

I have 64-bit Windows 7, and I'm assuming you do too.

After some Googling, It looks like there should be some C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash.  This, although the SysWOW64 name is misleading, is where all your 32-bit Windows 7 files are, sort of like System32 for 32-bit Windows operating systems.  Don't change anything there.

I'm not sure that's the problem, though, if other pages can use Flash...   hmm
