you should send this to TechTV too :smoov:
thanks for the effort

yes, this is overdue. i have a client who is mac based (music production) and to make matters worse, is using netscape. (sic)
please,please help your loyal users.

i work on a PC but i love my Macs, it'd be nice
to have an even playing ground for both. ^_^

Count me in!

Love Macs! Hate Windoze! Come on Macromedia sort it out please.

I am so glad to discover that this is an issue!

I thought it was just me, I am having major problems with stuff not showing up correctly in IE on my iMac, when it's perfect on a PC.

Also, in IE I keep getting a "not enough memory to run the Flash plugin" error (but that may be another issue entirely).

Yes! Please, I mean, I thought Macs carried a bit more weight in the "creative" corners.

What gives with the sub-standard plugin?

Wow, what a huge thread, must have missed it when it was current. Yes absolutely MM get Mac Flash Player up to speed.

Although I have been doing more of my Flash work in Windows, I secretly still hope that Flash performance on the Mac would improve! So please Macromedia improve the Mac Flash player! (Signed)

I work on a Mac, but when exporting, I'll have to switch over to the PC laptop to test the swf and see what most people out there will see.
This cost me extra time to test my movies, and it gets frustrating!

Count me in,
Flash for Mac is retarted... that's y..........

me too!!! It is really frustrating when going back and forth my Mac and the PeeCee's at work to see if it's working properly

yes Macromedia, please work on getting the Mac player up to speed. There are so many variables that make web designing hard to deliver content that looks the same to everyone. With PC and Mac Flash players at the same level, Flash will help deliver this content more fairly! Thanks

do you think macromedia will do something this time? :confused: i hope so!!!

Here is a note to Mac Users on OS9:

I was testing a Flash movie I made (an early version of a game which uses a scrolling/tile-based method of drawing the environment. ie attachMovie and removeMovieClip within loops).

Anyway the game runs incredibly sluggishly in IE 5.1 with Flash player plug-in 6.0 r47, I mean I was shocked. Open the SWF in iCab ((using the exact same Flash player plug-in....iCab's plug-ins folder is just an alias of IEs) and it runs at the correct speed. Part of the problem may point to IE itself on the Mac in that case)

I am making the SWFs with Flash 5, not MX yet, but like I say the browser player is v6

For those not familiar with iCab check out http://www.icab.de/

It is an alternative browser which kill ads, kill popups filter cookies etc. It may not be to everyone's tastes but at least it plays my SWFs properly and at the right speed.

If you look back a few pages, psychlonex, myself and a few other people tested several browsers with a standard movie; some interesting results.

ok, cool very interesting I must have missed some of that, well I hope Macromedia and browser companies and Apple can sort it all out. I dread to test this game with OS X

cheers

I'm tired of all the Mac tweaking. It ain't fun and it cuts into profit margins.
Please do two things Macromedia:

1. Acknowledge the problem. No more "We cannot duplicate this bug".
2. Fix it!!

Cheers,
Module

Shouldn't the plug-in touted as being able to "Deploy consistently to over 474 million Internet users across all major platforms and devices" run just as smooth on all major platforms?


I think so.

I agree. I have notice poor performance on Mac Os 9.x and X.
And anytime I view work on a WinBox the playback is almost too much.

Our studio has also noticed funkiness within different browsers, both Mac and Windows. This makes it difficult to explain "the why" to clients...
