    Safari and Flash player display issues

    I have several websites running a HTML file with Flash content within. It works fine on the majority of browsers I have tested, except for the Mac's browser, Safari...

    The problem is, when viewing Flash content, I have to refresh the page to view the player. I have tried this on 2 Macs and both reacted the same.

    Is this a common problem or does anybody have any ideas?

    Cheers for the help.

    Could you send us the links? I don't have any Flash issues with Safari.

    Try this for starters:

    I just tested my (still under construction) website http://www.LSinteractive.com/new in Safari at a friend's house, I'm not sure which version Flash, but when it loaded, I couldn't see any of the type!? only the graphics were displaying...

    Would it be too much to ask you to look at my link and see if you can see any text at all?

    I'm stumped. No text but all else works???

    thanks

    works fine for me, probably your friend has an old flash player which has trouble with masking fonts or doesn't have the font installed in the first place. Have you embedded the font?

    Yes, embedded not device. I verified that the font could be exported as per the Help instructions: View > Preview Mode > Antialias Text

    If it works for you guys, I'm not so worried... My friend admitted having a backwards system.

    Thanks for the help, It's great to feel I don't have to do this all alone, I love this list.
