Info:
With 2002032003 builds on all platforms a flash animation on this page fails to
show up at all. There is just a large black empty region where it should be.

Repro:
To repro, simply load the referenced url.

Expected Results:
The top right element should be a table with an active flash animation embedded
in it. Mousing over the listed names changes to the apporiate picture.

Actual results:
there is just a big black rectangle where the flash animation should be. In some
instances on previous Mac/Linux builds I have seen the static part of the
animation appear with the standard "Download Flash Player" mini banner in place
of content. This happened even though flash was installed (as verified with
about:plug-ins)

Build Info:
This bug was reproduced on Win2k, OS9/X, and RHLinux with 2002032003 builds -
with the black rectangle result. I've seen it work correctly on a 2002031803
Win98 build, which makes me think it's not an evangelism thing. I've seen the
"Download Flash Player" result on a Mac OSX 20020308 build.
I'll have some more info in a bit
Very strange! I can reproduce on a fresh mozilla pull, however the tree I have
from a few days ago isn't showing this problem. In the debugger, I notice that
we're not even getting an object frame from layout in today's build. A reduced
testcase would really help.
Flash works fine for me on other pages.

Is this related to the document.write problem in bug 132673?
oh yeah, definitely seems like it. Also from what Chris mentioned in that bug, 
it stopped working on 03/20 builds...same as this one. Should we dup this one to 
that or should I wait till that one is fixed and then verify this one.
O-nononono !! This one still exists even after 132673 has been marked verif 
fixed. jst checked on 0328 trunk. slapping keywords ,raising severity. This bug 
makes a lot of pages with flash plugin unusable.
Severity: normal → critical

www.macromedia.com is another test url
weird...

the installer stub actually installed bits for 0326 ( i did not notice that). 
Actually, this is fixed after 132673 got fixed, as we guessed, verified on 0327 
trunk bits.
