Hi Ted and others,
I appreciate your time in sharing R user group experience with my video
player scheme. Over time, I hope to iron out all issues your views
encounter.
For now I think I have a good solution for flash 10 upgrade issue. See
screenshot "flash10warning.png" for example of flash version error handler
from my Ubantu box - large error message with alternate playback link to the
swf file itself.
My mac plays the video just fine, and the upgrade detect worked just fine
too. The problem that Gad describes may be more complicated. I suspect he is
encountering a security mechanism resulting from my chosen method of flash
version detection. It is a very popular technique called SWFObject
developed by google. To narrow down Gad's problem, I'll request of Gad to
try the following link's test suite and see if he finds some tests that
fail... http://code.google.com/p/swfobject/wiki/test_suite If one or more
of these tests fail, then I can work backward to identify the problem /
solution matrix. The error message he encountered is consistent with my
catch all error (with 15 1-second retry's before finally aborting) for
security related issues and/or transient Internet connectivity errors.
It was actually Rolf that got the error message - all I got was the
title "The R and Science..." and nothing under it. Now I get
"LectureMaker.com recommends Flash...". I'm using Flash 9.0.151.0 on
Firefox 3.0.8, OS X 10.5.6.
