Merry Christmas All.
An urgent but not life-or-death question. I went to http://rolexsydneyhobart.com/yacht_tracker.asp?key=522 to check the race progress but the yacht tracker downloaded but doesn't run. Right clicking shows it is using gnash. Where do I start looking?
I am using F8, gnash-0.8.2.3.fc8 and firefox 2.0.0.10. The race finishes on Sunday morning, hence the urgency :). If someone can point me in the right direction I'll start chasing it tomorrow. If someone could verify that gnash works on this site, that would be a start. This site worked with flash for last year's race, so I could always swap over to that.
Seasons greetings

Well, some joy during the night. I refreshed the page late last night and the plot of yachts is showing. But this morning it has not refreshed itself, the refresh plot button doesn't seem to work, nor do the the zoom, favourites etc seem to work. Firefox was set to block popups, so have enabled that for this site. I'll wait till after breakfast and if no response by then I'll refresh the page again.

Well...it seems nearly impossible to test this site from Taiwan. It is painfully, painfully slow. It took nearly 5 minutes to load that page in both FF on Linux and IE7 on Vista. Updates are equally sluggish. Actually, sluggish would be fast compared to that site.

I thought it was just my dial-up connection.
Gave it a shot, like the others mentioned - the site is extremely slow in responding. Doesn't seem to be network related, looks like server load issues.
That said, it didn't work for me using Gnash on a Fedora 8 kick I installed to test it for you, but it does work on Fedora 10 x64 beta flash plugin from Adobe. Gnash hasn't worked properly for most sites using flash for me on 10, which is why I made the switch. I didn't test Gnash on F10 on the site, since the Adobe plugin worked properly. Good luck, maybe somebody else can give that a go!
Cheers, David

Thanks David, I installed Adobe Flash, but it is not much better. Maybe just the load during the race.

Right now that site doesn't load at all. I really don't think your problems with that site have anything to do with Gnash.
