RE: FLASH: GGGGRRRR Yahoo! and Shockwave

[CurtisB]

BUG UPDATE: This morning I received email from shockwave engineers asking me

for details of my problem and offering support. My problem has been

duplicated and they are working on a fix.  


>>For your situation, if the core of your paragraph comes down to "What's a

jd, my concern as a developer is not someone thinking they've installed

Shockwave and the computer telling them they didn't--it's much more basic: I

just want to see my own developed content in my own browser on my own

computer and right now I CAN'T. Of course, as a developer, I'm extrapolating

to imagine one of my clients going to view the content and have the same

problem.


Macromedia has been responsive thus far, and I hope they'll be able to find

a fix for the situation and (more importantly) fix the software soon. I'll

summarize the details of the bug and the fix and post them to this list when

the problem is resolved.
