I have reported this before, but evidentially I was told I have to have a
different Shockwave Flash plug in for Mozilla -- that response did not make
sense, and the current version does not appear to allow for the Plugin to be
downloaded.
Thanks

The URL to download Flash Player is:

http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash

For some reason "Get the Plug-in" button does not work anymore.  I have see this
for like a week or more in SeaMonkey nightlys.

Leaving as UNCONFIRMED status for now.

Changing status to NEW.  Didn't read the bug report right.

Still not fixed in this build:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.9a1) Gecko/20050816 SeaMonkey/1.0a

To reproduce it:
Click on "Click here to get the plugin", a window entitled "Plug-in not loaded"
displaying the MIME type "application/x-shockwave-flash" and the message "You
can retrieve this plug-in from: http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"
appears with a button "Get the Plug-in". When you click this button, the window
goes away and "Connecting to www.macromedia.com" shows shortly in the status
bar. Then the text "After installing the plugin, click here." appears in place
of the Flash animation, you click it; nothing happens.

When you manually go to http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer, you can
download and install the plugin without problem. Then you click the last message
above and the Flash movie appears.

I use Mozilla 1.84 - flash works fine.  Still have it on the machine in a
different directory.

I downloaded SeaMonkey 1.0a a few weeks ago and found this same problem - no
display of flash media.  I tried installing various versions of flashplayer (#7,
#8) and shockwave, but all I get is a blank screen - Seamonkey does not even ask
for the plugin.

I downloaded SeaMonkey 1.1a a few days ago and found no change in the problem. 
Last night's build (10-4-05) still does not work with flash.

That's the page with Installation Instructions and Download button.
I didn't proceed further, as I didn't want to download another copy, I know it is working.

2. click Install plugin brings up Plug-In Finder Service box.
3. clicking next to install Flash brings up the Licence
4. In the Licence Box the NEXT button is greyed out and can't vbe activated, neither by scrolling the license fully, nor by clicking the Radio button accept. Only way out is to click 'Cancel'
