After selecting city and streetname, map-images on the site
http://www.stadtplan.net  are not displayed at all. (The pages need java and
shockwave to be installed, i'm not sure if the problem comes from one of these
components)

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Enter http://www.stadtplan.net
2.proceed with button "zu den Karten" (->go to maps)
3.select one cityname from navbar on left cide

I get the following error on the JS console:

Error: mapObj.GotoFrame is not a function
Source File: http://www.hotdoc.de/vv/script/0001/streets.js
Line: 77

With Opera, I get the same error. With IE5.5, it works fine though.

They are using some browser sniffing that seems to like only IE:

function Nav(f1,p1,p2,p3,p4,p5,s1) {
 var InternetExplorer = navigator.appName.indexOf("Microsoft") != -1;

Over to Evangelism.

Reality check:  Does LiveConnect work at all with Shockwave in Mozilla?
I've been trawling the net for hours looking at one demo after another of
LiveConnect/Shockwave, and each one fails to perform in Mozilla.  Two examples:
  http://www.phxnow.com/LM/gotoFrame/gotoFrame.html
  http://www.kentdesign1.com/horse1.htmlI've been trying to write my own
LiveConnect/Shockwave script, and have got it working in everything from
Netscape 3 to IE 6, but no joy in Mozilla.

This bug still is actual with 
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.1) Gecko/20020826
and flashplayer 6
Now it works for me with
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.2a) Gecko/20020906
Flash Player  Version: 6,0,47,0
and installed Shockwave Player icon  Macromedia Shockwave Player

I would like to know why.
Depends on: ford.de
works fine if your flash is scriptable (look for flashplayer.xpt in your
mozilla/components folder).

Doesn't work. There is no 'flashplayer.xpt' in components - where do I get it?
Hi Michael,
interesting question, I have it, but I do not know how I got it.
Try to download it from
http://home.t-online.de/home/Bielefeld__Buss_oHG/mozilla/flashplayer.xpt
and copy it into oyur mozilla\components - folder
I am Interested in information: did it work for you?
Looks like Macromedias fault:

comment #14:
Rainer, this file doesn't work. It is sent as text/plain (most webservers
default for unknown files), and I'm pretty sure that the correct mime type would
be application/octet-stream.
I tried and for me it worked:
I tried my system without flashplayer.xpt: www.stadtplan.net did not work.
Download http://home.t-online.de/home/Bielefeld__Buss_oHG/mozilla/flashplayer.xpt
with right mouseclick / save link target as      in components- folder
restart mozilla: www.stadtplan.net   works
I saved the flashplayer.xpt into components folder and tried on linux (mozilla
1.1 on SuSE linux 7.1) and on windows (mozilla 1.1 on 98SE and on 2000
Professional), same result after restarting mozilla on both: no success.
reopen bug, I also don't see maps ... with or without flashplayer.xpt
Status: RESOLVED → REOPENED
Resolution: WORKSFORME → ---
Try the installer from
http://plugindoc.mozdev.org/windows.html#Flash

I tried and it put the flashplayer.xpt in the components directory and
stadtplan.net works now. 

However, this functionality depends on Flash 6.0. The Linux version is still
5.x, so this can't work on that platform.

This is fixed.



I'm on linux ... setting platform and OS accordingly and leaving open ...
waiting for flash6 on linux ...

you can just open evangelism bugs for every flash6 related site.
go complain to macromedia instead.

marking as wfm.

If you've got a comment like this keep it to yourself.  The bug tracker is to
track things that don't work.  Obviously this site _does not_ work and there a
bug has been made, it is no personal attack against you or the Mozilla.org team,
but rather a constructive critism, highlighting the fact that a particular site
doesn't work so that perhaps in the future someone can figure out a way of
getting it to work.

you dont understand. we cant contact them saying, heh, your site doesnt work
with mozilla / linux - which I use myself btw - , please downgrade your flash
animation so that flash5 users can see it. we CANT. because its macromedia's
fault, not even the site's fault. the problem with this site has nothing to do
with mozilla. leave that as worksforme.
David,

the tech evangelism "product" in bugzilla is used to track web sites that
produce content that is not compatible with Mozilla. I understand there is an
issue, but it's not due to the web site nor Mozilla, but it comes from
Macromedia not shipping an updated plug in for your platform (which I would like
to happen, BTW).

Sorry to mark it as WFM, but this is the way to do in this case.

BTW, I'm the default owner of Tech Evangelism/Europe, so please do not reopen
the bug. Thanks. (if you have issues with this specific bug, send me a private
e-mail)

Per Andreas Otte's remark, I reopen this bug to mark it later as Resolved
Invalid. (which is closer to reality).

Thanks Andreas for the tip.
Status: RESOLVED → REOPENED
Resolution: WORKSFORME → ---
See previous comment. Marking Invalid as it is not a Mozilla problem nor an
evangelism issue : it's macromedia which has not yet shipped a recent version of
its plug in on Linux.

What about under Windows, doesn't work for me under Windows either (which was
the inital claim of my bug, nothing to do with Linux).
works fine with windows if you have flashplayer.xpt or whatever its name is.
the thing is, the macromedia installer is buggy and doesnt copy it to the right
directory itself.
I can verify that it works on windows copying flashplayer.xpt from the link 
http://home.t-online.de/home/Bielefeld__Buss_oHG/mozilla/flashplayer.xpt to the
components directory and restarting mozilla. Try again David.
