I seem to often hit Web sites with flash animations that don’t display properly. For example, the site for Kia vehicles just shows up blank in both Safari and Firefox. Is that a bug affecting Flash Player on the Mac OS?

@ Islandgirl,

Chances are that’s some MS code that’s doing that.

Or just remove the flash files entirely (from /Library/Internet Plug-Ins) and be done with it.

You mean the Web site is only written for Internet Explorer? Yuck.

You’ve always been able to download youtube videos using safari and osx. Just open the activities window while a video buffers, looke for the largest file size, copy the url, then paste it into the downloads window. Voila! The video will download to your desktop or downloads folder.

@ Islandgirl–

That’s Safari trying to protect you from buying a crappy car.

I TRULY HATE COMPANIES THAT TRY TO FORCE THEIR WEB PAGE VISITORS TO USE FLASH.

Chipotle I’m looking at you!

If you can’t make your webpage in pure HTML at least as an option, then don’t make a web page at all.

There is nothing wrong with safari… as TheConfuzed1 beat me to it… its protecting you from buying a crappy car.

Haha. But actually, the Kia Soul has gotten good reviews from car writers. So has the new Forte. Hyundai owns Kia and both brands have grown up and away from their original reputations. Decent warranties, too.

I’m not planning to buy right at this moment. But it doesn’t cost anything to read about what’s on the market.

The problem is many really great interactive applications for children are written in Actionscript/Flash. Schools use them extensively.

@ anaknipedro –

yes that’s true, but flv files are a PAIN to convert, and getting the h264 version is hit or miss. with this method, there’s a direct link. beautiful

The beauty of Clicktoflash is that it even makes MDN snappy. I am actually able to run my ancient G4 Cube with Safari 4 and not go crazy with endless “loading” BS. I can say that it saved my beautiful Cube from the dumpster. Very nice

Pity Flash is a necessary evil – still cranks the fans on my MacBook every time I load a flash site even under Snow Leopard – is this the best Adobe can do?

Cheers.

P.S.

I love Click2Flash – it has made browsing so much more enjoyable – almost like when the web was young!
