Hi All,
Ok, I have waited a while before I said this as I wanted to be sure of =
my facts and Macromedia have been looking into the errors but so far MM =
and NN have not solved them.

I work with many different programs and platforms and also write about =
new program releases, whilst testing some new Flash principles I noticed =
inconsistent results when testing on Netscape 6. This should not be so =
as the Flash plugin should embed the Flash movie (swf) into the page and =
the swf should play the same on IE and NN (I am talking about a basic =
movie here with no external commands).

I was chatting with one of the developers at MM and they said they are =
fully aware of these errors and are working with NN to get around them, =
last night I installed the most recent versions of NN and Flash plugin =
and the errors still exist. I advise installing NN 6 and checking your =
sites to see if you need to make any minor tweaks or adjustments - =
irrespective of the usual NN alterations that are required ;-)

I have not had the time to check all HTML sites with NN 6 and I guess =
there are no new problems there but it does not hurt to try.

I could type for hours about this but I won't bore you ;-) this is just =
meant as a 'heads up' to those who are not aware of the new conflicts.

If you want to know more or have any questions feel free to email me =
rather than clogging up the list.

Regards,

Rog.
