From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Konqueror/3.0.0-10; Linux) Description of problem: The plugin is not started, even if everything seems well configured. I tried to upgrade the plugin to the latest release (5.0.48.0) from the macromedia site but that did not solved the problem. The plugin works great under mozilla and netscape, tough. That's a blocking issue for me (I develop flash applications), and prefer konqueror as a browser for a number of reasons. The plugin worked fine with the previous release, under Red Hat 7.2 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. open a web page with a flash applet, as www.macromedia.com 2. the plugin is not started 3. Additional info:
I get offer a "me too". I found further that if I directly reference the flash file in the Address URL box, it loads and runs. I just can't get it to work when embedded into a webpage.
I found an example of a flash site not loading (don't laugh): http://www.duranduran.com/ This USED to work with kde-2.2.2. I'm also getting similar (but not as drastic) failures on some sites with embedded java applets. Sometimes they load, sometimes they don't. http://java.sun.com/ is a good example, there's supposed to be 2 applets, but I can only get at most one of them to work (by reloading). I've tried both jre1.3.1_02 and jre1.4.0 from sun (rpm).
Just snagged kde 3.0.1-1 packages from rawhide. java applets now seem to load reliably. I also found an example of a flash site that actually works: http://www.planettribes.com/allyourbase/video.shtml (I think this uses flash4).
The problem is khtml doesn't correctly interpret the <object> tag and thus, flash animations which are not inside a <object></object> pair work ok. Like the one above.
Accessing any of those pages with 3.0.2-1 gives me a warning saying no plugin for swf found and a large reserved area, so I think the <object> parsing stuff is fixed.
I can verify that with kdelibs-3.0.2-0.cvs20020625 and kdebase-3.0.2-0.cvs20020627 (from rawhide), and the flash5 plugin from macromedia, that the flash portions of webpages now actually load and work. So when do we get to see 3.0.2-1? (-:
