Hi ray, I can confirm that I see this new behavior using click to flash, and that temporarily disabling the extension brings things back to the way they used to be.
Either a recent click to flash update has added support for converting audible samples to html 5 elements, or the folks at audible have switched to using a different flash player that the extension already knows how to convert. Either way, this is excellent news. Thanks for the tip. On Dec 28, 2010, at 1:28 AM, Ray Foret Jr wrote: Just now, when I went to Audible.com I experienced something that never before happened. I opened the page, and, suddenly, all the samples on the page started to play at the same time. When they all finally stopped, I took a look at the page and noticed numorous audio element control tool bars all over the page. I mean they were all over the place. These audio element control tool bars are doubtless familiar to you if you've pressed VO+space on an mp3 file from say www.blindcooltech.com to play the file right off the servers. anyhow, I decided to take a closer look, so, I searched for a title I knew was there; I mean on the site. When I found the book I was looking for, I nnavigated to it and, guess what, next to the word "sample", there was an audio element control tool bar. At this point, I would have to conclude that the people at audible have heard us and made some major change to their page so that we no longer need to use the mouse method to play samples. As a qualifier, I must hasten to add that I have the anti flash extension, (I forgot the proper name of it for the moment), and, when I looked at the settings I had made for it, I found that it was set to buffer and start playing the video content automatically. With this in mind, I have two questions. 1. For those of you who also have this flash extension, have y'all noticed this difference in audible.com? 2. Now, for those of you without the extension, are you still needing to play samples using the mouse method? Thanks. Sincerely, The Constantly Barefooted Ray!!!
