flash player installed ok.

I just did some initial testing and under Netscape 7 it fails also now.  The
reason seems to be the Mozilla ActiveX plugin.  If I remove this plugin from the
plugins directory the flash player displays this ok now.  So there seems to be
some incompatibility between the flash 6.0 plugin and the ActiveX plugin.  Cool,
lets get that one worked out.

If I select one of the options and get directed to a secondary page, then I see
the Flash plug-in (a spinning wheel).

What version of Flash do you have installed? In your plug-ins directory do you
see the dll and the xpt file?

Flash is not supported with the Active-X plugin because it makes use of IE's DOM
interfaces. Add it to your black list:

The plugin does support the Flash control, but only properly when Mozilla is
built in COM connect mode. In this build mode, the plugin implements the bits of
the DOM the control tries to access as well as fixing other things such as
relative links.

The version of the plugin built for NS7 and downloadable from my website may not
satisfactorily support the control. I can't recall if that supports a blacklist
mode, but its worth a try. Failing that, remove the plugin. Eventually I should
get around to building a new version for NS 7 that will implement a blacklist.
