Still waiting for Flash
Still waiting for Flash

I've found that the acid test for flash is Comedy Central's "Motherload". It's a full-screen flash app that displays video, catalogs episodes of the show you're currently watching (usually The Daily show), you iteract with it to select things and queue up the next episodes for it to show when it's done with this one... And of course they keep changing it. It used to work with the proprietary adobe plugin, but what set of bugs you had changed week by week, then it stopped working at all...

Is there anything it *does* work with, or is it just irredeemably buggy? (i.e., can you distinguish bugs in the flash app from bugs in the flash implementation?)

I haven't really had any problems with it, except for the crashes being reported here, and (as a developer) problems with uploads and downloads on secured sites, related to Flash not getting session and HTTP credentials when transferring files (why in the world the player is doing the transfer of files itself, instead of using the browser as it does for all other comm, is beyond me...). Oh, and a few font size differences when using system fonts instead of embedded fonts, but that is almost unavoidable, given the differences in the system's rendering (Which both Windows and Linux sucks at, but that is a completely other subject).
