281326 - FreeBSD-5.3-Rel / Mozilla 1.7.5 / FlashPlayer7 -- Does not play movies!

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Jeffrey Singleton]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; FreeBSD i386; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20050206
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; FreeBSD i386; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20050206

Basically ... All I am seeing from *ANY* site with Flash enabled animations are
the background images/colors of the movie (.swf).

For instance, from my test server url listed above, there is a Flash Clock that
I made, but all I can see from Mozilla or Firefox is the background jpeg from
the movie. The ticking clock, just does not play.

I have installed, uninstalled, and reinstalled several times over .... the
browser, the flashplugin for both browsers, all to no avail.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install Mozilla or Firefox from ports
2. Install flashplugin-mozilla (or firefox) from port
3. Load any page with Flash Animation on it.

Actual Results:  
If there is a background jpeg/gif inside the swf movie, that is all you will see.
If there is no image, but a background color is set, then that is all you see.

Expected Results:  
I expect to see the movie/animation play!

Everything else works great ... I just can't get Flash to work!
