Happened again this time. I had three packages related to swfdec installed, which the browsers thought would decode SWF files. Well, it wouldn't. Uninstalling the three packages allowed the macromedia software to be run (and I did get it from the repo, fwiw), which handled the flash stuff just fine. Todd - thanks again for responding, and to the rest of the list my deep appreciation for your bandwidth while I fumble around with this. -- ============================================= If you think Education is expensive Try Ignorance Author Unknown ============================================ -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
