When I visited flash sites they would all work, but sooooo painfully slowly. I
was a little curious so I fired the sites up in netscape 7 and there was no
problem. It isnt just my computer because I had a bunch of my nerd friends test
the same thing and we all had the same results! I'm running Slackware 9.1 on an
AMD XP 2100 with 512MB od DDR RAM so it isnt a problem of my computer not being
able to handle it. It's just a little frustrating when I go to visit some uber
cool sites like http://www.2advanced.com

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Goto a site that is completely made in flash
2.Close the window and goto my other favourite flash site
3.Click on a link to another really cool flash site

Actual Results:  
The flash loaded really slow and all the animations seemed like they were in
slow motion and the sounds didnt match up!

Expected Results:  
Played the filoe exactly as the designer has intended!

1) From Macromedia's website 
"Linux x86 (1)

Footnote on the page
 (1)Not officially supported by Macromedia."

The page is http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/alternates/

2) Are you using the latest flash plugin Macromedia shows that the current
version is 6.0 r81. You can check this information by typing about:plugins in
the address bar and looking for a title for Flash.

3) The latest version of the Flash plugin for Windows/Mac is version 7 which was
released when Macromedia released their Studio MX, which includes Flash MX. The
Linux version of the plugin is still on version 6 which might show that they
only support features from Macromedia 4.X Studio. This was the release before
Studio MX. The site that you listed in the bug clearly states that one of the
requirements is Flash MX support. As well as a broadband connection which I am
assuming that you have.

If you do not have the latest version of Flash you can download it from the URL
listed above.
