I was just on audible and was not able to click the sample button. In fact, vo didn't even say sample if I did vo right but when I reversed and did vo left it said sample; a vo space on that word did nothing. I guess I need that click to flash utility?

You can get it here https://extensions.apple.com/ Once on the page, open the iTem chooser and type in flash. Then go the the click to flash heading. Then a little below that is the download link. Once that is done, open safari or webkit and go to preferences. Then select extensions from the toolbar. Now make sure extensions are enabled. There will also be a list containing the extensions you have installed. Click to flash should be in here. VO right arrow from the list and interact with the extension info group. In here you will find the setting of the extension you selected from the previous list. Make sure click to flash is on. hth Ricardo Walker rwalker...@gmail.com Twitter, Skype, and AIM: rwalker296 Google Voice: 1-646-450-2197 On Dec 28, 2010, at 12:45 PM, Carolyn Haas wrote: > Hi Ray and list: > I must confess, I was afraid to dabble in the anything to do with flash, so > ignored that thread.
