Cannot View Flash Multimedia
This page is hopefully here to assist you if there are issues with the use of Adobe Flash multimedia on the Hunter Island Press site. If the following do not answer your specific question on this topic feel free to contact the webmistress on the provided web form and we will try to resolve it as soon as possible.
Flash Slideshows Don’t Work On My Computer!
In this case I would suggest you don’t have the correct Flash plugin installed. This is a small downloadable program which enables your browser to view Flash multimedia content. If you want to find out if you have the Flash plugin installed or which version you should have installed go to the Adobe FlashPlayer About page. You will see not only which version your computer has installed but which version you should have installed for your computer.
Note: Internet Explorer uses a different version of the Flash plugin than Mozilla, Netscape, Firefox or other browsers.
Flash Worked On Some Sites But Not This Site
If you viewed Flash multimedia content on some sites but you can’t get it happening on this site it would be because you have an older version of the Flash Player plugin installed on your computer. In this case you need to install the latest version to view Flash content made in newer versions.
It may appear as if this site is broken because it worked on another site but you can be assured if you can view Flash elsewhere except here this is the only possible answer.
Where Do I Download Flash Player Versions?
If you go to the URL (that’s a web address) for the Adobe Flash Player Download Center it will automatically detect which browser you are using and offer the correct download. The download is 1.3MB and will take approximately 2 minutes on a standard 56K dial-up modem connection.
Click the download button and place the file you are supplied as a saved file on your computer desktop.
How Do I Install Or Upgrade My Flash Plugin?
With the Flash Player plugin safely on your desktop as an executable file (meaning something you double click to install on your computer) you need to close all browsers and programs so you only have an empty desktop.
Double click the executable file you saved and you are done. If you open the web page with Flash content on it now you should find it displays effectively and all of the pictures are visible.
In Conclusion
The symptom will be something like you can’t see the images in a Flash slideshow. You may have a black background or a large empty area on a page where you expect multimedia to be – but it isn’t visible. This could mean you either have an old version of the Flash Player plugin or it is not installed on your computer. This is easy to rectify by following the provided links in this FAQ to locate, download and install the plugin provided by Adobe.
If this does not help you rectify the issue feel free to contact the webmistress for further information and advice.
