Please go to the website: http://www.haaretzdaily.com/

There is a flash/Shockwave component above the word News Updates in red in the
middle of the page closer to the top of the page (scrolling box of news).

This scrolling box never activates. It stays blank.
cannot connect to this page at all. Dear Reporter ? What build are u 
using,btw? how about other flash pages? are they working for u ? Did u disable 
ur disk cache ? 
they're using layers on this page. 4.x does not render this page nicely too 
(don't see the flash movie at all on 4.x). The top portion is blank there too.
Looked at the code and there are several problems, the embed tag has a different
width/height setting than the parent object tag. The object tag width/height is
different than the parent iframe. Consequently, the flash object gets truncated.
Displaying the object in a stand-alone mode, displays fully, but is still
minimized  because of the width/height settings. The page also uses document.layers.
