Well, that was interesting. Nice little Mac-killer you built there.  (;


After noting another Flasher was able to access the pages, I tried again 

under NT, things went fine (I didn't load beyond the main movie). So, 

assuming the DNS error cleared, I went over to the Mac OS8.6 NN4.08 F4 

config--WHAM! Hard crashed on load and render of entry page HTML, noted 

it began loading Java (needed to execute JavaScript, loads once per 

session as needed).


Suspecting a possible conflict with yesterday's Font Manager Update 1.0 

(Apple released update to cure corrupt FOND issues, Netscape users 

reporting minor issues), I slid over to a second Mac that is a virgin 

stock configuration, OS8.6 NN4.08 F4 --WHAM! Hard crash.


(note: all cache and history files are auto-cleared on each restart of 

any browser for these machines, so it is a non-factor) 


Reboot the Mac, launch NN3.04 F3, page and primary SWF loads fine.


Launch IE4.5, no plugins, main page loads fine, receive no-plugin error 

from the browser (as expected). 


Quit, reinstall F3 plugin, relaunch IE4.5 F3, both entry and SWF loads 

fine.


Suspecting the F4 plugin, I removed it and relaunched NN4.08 less 

plugins, entry page loads fine, SWF will not load, browser instructs no 

plugin (as expected). 


Quit, installed F3, relaunched NN4.08 F3--WHAM! Hard crash as it parses 

your JavaScript.
