Playing Flash Movies

HI Teresa, I tried a VO search for video but only came across links to other videos etc. NO video area or anything I could interact with. Perhaps some of my settings aren't configured properly for HTML5, or perhaps Google is mistaken when it tells me I'm subscribed to the HTML5 trial. Thanks fo

Try doing a VO search on the video page for "video". You should run into an element that says "video element controller". Interact with this, and you should find the controls. HtH, Teresa On Oct 9, 2012, at 10:58 PM, Nicholas Parsons wrote: > Thanks guys. > > I went to the HTML5 youtube sit

Thanks guys. I went to the HTML5 youtube site and it told me I was already automatically signed up for the HTML5 trial, and only gave me the option to unsubscribe. However, I still can't see any play/pause controls for youtube videos. Does the click-to-plugin alert you when there is flash conte

This is correct, if it starts playing automatically it's fine, but the flash controls and content will not read. Adobe has made it clear they have no interest in fixing this on the mac. One thing you can do in the case of youtube, go to http://youtube.com/html5 Click the option to join the html5

Hi. Click-to-plugin is very configurable. It has a set of preferences that can be configured. For example, you can use a hot key to allow flash on a specific domain. Also, it substitutes many players with HTML5. There are things I can get to play with flash, and click-to-plugin has enabled hot

Thanks, that does sound like a good tip. I'll try it. Hopefully it wont block plugins I actually use. So, am I right to conclude that apart from flash players that are controlled by HTML controls and players that load automatically like youtube, flash movies are completely inaccessible for Voic

It does not disable most things, the only thing I've seen it disable is flash, and, when plug ins are disabled, some sites will give you an html version of the content, which is much more accessible. On Oct 8, 2012, at 1:58 PM, Chris Blouch wrote: > Hmm. I thought this would disable plugins like

Hmm. I thought this would disable plugins like QuickTime as well and would stop Safari from playing mp3s and such in the browser. Just tried it and everything seems to play fine. Nice. CB On 10/8/12 2:19 PM, Mike Arrigo wrote: If you don't want to install an extension, there's another way, I u

If you don't want to install an extension, there's another way, I use this method. Unless you know you're going to be using flash, uncheck the option under security to enable plug ins, this makes pages load much faster. Then, if something requires flash, enable plug ins and refresh the page. O

Dunno about the Seratec Network but I know a lot of folks use the ClicktoFlash plugin to block flash from loading on pages. Seems to speed things up quite a bit. Then if you really do want Flash to load you can tell it to allow flash to load on that page. I don't know of anything that only load

Thanks, CB. That makes a lot of sense. I probably heard something about how flash is built-in to Chrome and misunderstood or got mixed up somewhere and stored the information as flash being accessible with Chrome. I wish more people used those HTML controls for flash playback. I do still have t
