I'm having trouble getting the Mach Nation screen set to work. Here's what I've done since
starting try to figure out why is doesn't work for me:
1) Installed current Mach release in a new directory.
2) Deleted old flash.dll and copied new flash.dll into plugins directory
3) Installed and reinstalled latest flash plugin
4) Verified that flash plugin is enabled in Mach config.
A screenshot of the result in Mach is attached. The DRO's can be typed in, but the buttons don't work.
I can open "Mach Nation 11-20.swf" in firefox and it looks fine and the screen buttons work.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

Hi hdscarbro,
Can you try downloading http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=262D25E3-F589-4842-8157-034D1E7CF3A3&displaylang=en (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=262D25E3-F589-4842-8157-034D1E7CF3A3&displaylang=en) and let me know if this resolves the issue.

Hi Jason,
This didn't help. I've also run windows update. The machine has been updated to SP3.

it looks like a missing font on your system. Mach Nation uses Arial....I've PM'ed you test file.
-
The Arial font is available. I can access it in WordPad.
If you look at the screen capture jpg in my first post, the text "Tool:0" appears to be Arial.
The Mach Nation swf file looks and works fine when opened via Firefox on the same system? When opened in Firefox the "change screen" buttons work, but in Mach, they don't.

Do you have the latest Flash plugin?
-
The latest Flash plugin is installed.
I installed "Flash CS3 Professsional" on the machine and the problem went away. Now "Mach Nation" works fine.

Hi,
Yes the "ActiveX Flash Player 9" is what you need...shouldnt need anything else...this is diffrent then the web browser plug'in.

Ah. I had to get an old flash plugin. The "sticky" post at the top of this forum points to the current flash plugin (version 10) which did not work for me.
Here's where to get archived versions of old flash plugins:

I uninstalled all of the flash stuff (Version 10 plugin, CS3, etc.) and ran the standalone Adobe flash uninstaller on my "Mach" machine.
After installing flash from the 9r124 folder in the downloaded archive, Mach Nation works. Whew.

weird...I'll have to check into that...I know you have to "publish" as AS2 Flash 8 but it should work in any player....BTW I am hoping we will have AS3 working with Mach soon.
-
How soon are you talking about

Sorry I didn see your message!
The flash update will come out around the same time as Mach4 with a number of components/elements.

Thank you that will be great ;)
