User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:0.9) Gecko/20010505

When I visit a page with a larger flash animation (on a lower bandwidth
connection so that the flash needs a few seconds or more to load) and I hit the
stop button the flash animation is still loading. It should stop loading.

The same should be true when clicking on a link that loads a new page in the
current window (see bug 78521).

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Visit a page with a large flash animation (like
http://www.derbauer.de/BIII_TRAILER.htm)
2. hit the stop button while the flash is still loading

Actual Results:  It's still loading

Expected Results:  It should stop loading
->plugins?

Can anyone confirm if the stop button should do that, because the plugin is not
part of the browser, if you want to stop a flash anim you just right click on
the flash playing and select fordward.
Note that IE works the same way as Mozilla.

Shockwave Flash 5.0 r41
It should not stop the animation - it should stop the all downloads from the
current page (including downloads made by a plugin)
this works in ns4.x at least on win32, the stop button seems to be disabled in
mozilla

Av, I think that this is yours.

4.x and IE both do this and it's a dup of bug 11875. It's a very useful feature
to  halt all network streams for all plugins with one command.
