I tried to watch the demo you linked to on the rPath website, but the Javascript it uses to guess whether I have the Flash plugin guesses wrong. It refuses to show me the content and links to Adobe's download page despite having the Flash plugin installed in Firefox and working with other sites. It seems to work fine on Windows/IE though.

finding flash Posted Aug 8, 2008 12:55 UTC (Fri) by michaelkjohnson (subscriber, #41438) [Link] Thanks for letting us know! I've forwarded this information internally at rPath. For the record, I've only ever seen this run on Linux machines running Firefox, as far as I recall, so it's not the case that it's broken for all Linux and/or Firefox installations. I've seen what you describe only when running the noscript plugin (as I always do...) when I haven't yet marked the necessary sites as allowed by noscript.

finding flash update Posted Aug 8, 2008 22:19 UTC (Fri) by michaelkjohnson (subscriber, #41438) [Link] Just a quick note: we think we know why this is happening for you, and expect our next refresh of the tour site (I don't know exactly when that will be) to fix the problem. There's better flash detection javascript code out there than the older version we had deployed. Thank you very much for mentioning the problem!
