In my case I'll agree with you.
Firefox 1.5.0.7 Ubuntu 6.06 The flash breaks. I get a logo with a blank
white button underneath. Right click I get the flash control menu. Click
play and some of the navigation and links come up, then hangs waiting
for more data.
A lot of sites are using flash 8 (not this one), which leaves all
linux/bsd users in the lurch. It looks like there may be a beta of flash
9 available in the next week or so, skipping 8 completely. I hope they
have fixed the sound sync problems of flash 7/linux. Should do, as
apparently the developers are letting alsa handle the sound.
Flash may be one of the best ways of delivering rich internet apps, but
it must be multi platform if they don't want folk to move to gnash or
anything else that comes along.
In the meantime, site builders should also build a non-flash/proprietary
platform site for other oses/older pcs/javascript off etc. Easy enough
to do what this site has with simple tables. Using iframes to contain
the flash? Bad.
