adobe question webkinz

[Guest blb]

I was wondering - I have had issues with Adobe.. I uninstalled and

re-installed, although was difficult to do. My daughter loves the Webkinz

site.. when she is on it - certain things call for adobe flash. It gets an

error message that"a script in the movie is causing adobe to run slowly.

continuing may cause computer to become unresponsive" if I abort - it does

not allow access to that area of the website.... if I continue - I have to do

so multiple times before it will allow access...

Any suggestiions?

Uninstall Flash with the above Adobe tool, then go back to Adobe and

reinstall flash.

Untick the google toolbar option!

A working unsecure OS is infinitely better than non-working secure OS.

Just spent 1 week cleaning up the mess WUpdate made preventing

"Criticism

 

...programming errors often reduce the ability of the remainder of the

site to function at prior levels"

 

It might just be the combination of software being used on a particular

web page, which causes problems. I would try testing on another computer,

just to see if the problem is specific to your current installations

of software.

 

Can the problem be reproduced on some other web page besides Webkinz ?

A public site we can test for ourselves ? I don't particularly

want to know your "secret password" :-)

 

This page plays an animation in two sections of the webpage.

The upper image should display something about Shockwave.

The lower one shows the version of Flash you've installed.

 

http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/welcome/

 

Flash is up to version 10 now.

 

You can get "non web" update versions here. When you download one of their

ZIP files, there are a lot of unnecessary files in there. The

"Flash Player ActiveX" executable file, would install the latest

Flash Player for Internet Explorer. The "Flash Player Plugin" executable

file, installs Flash for Firefox or other Netscape-like browsers. I

had to use that method, when the web based update did not work correctly.

There is a "Debug" and a "Release" set of files, and end-users would

use the Release ones. They're all there, when you unzip the downloaded

file.

There might also be USENET news groups that support Flash,

where you could also find people who know Flash inside-out.

 

Sometimes, these things can be slow, due to the amount of

interpreted languages used. I tried one site, which used

both Shockwave and Java code, and did animations. It was

all that my computer could handle, and the animation was

not that smooth. There were no warning dialogs, but it

also didn't work as well as it could have. The machine

I was on, was a P4 at 3GHz. For another $2000, I'm sure I

could buy a computer that would run it smoothly :-)
