not sure why this is locked

seems like gfdd's script for flash player detection has been removed completely, and no matter what, the nonflash menu is drawn.

code:

---

//if(GFDD_FlashCanPlay)
//    document.write('<snip>the flash header</snip>');
//else
    document.write(noflashheader);

---

the function itself generally seems flash-seven specific, but i don't have a flash-eight computer to test it with. try javascript:alert(GFDD_PluginVersion) and javascript:alert(GFDD_FlashCanPlay) in the address bar and see if you get "8", if not, thats why its been removed.

Not the flash problem. Is the browser. Read

That might be the reason that the page can't detect flash. And that's why only the navigation bar's not working. Others are working.

No, I very much doubt shawnz uses Internet Explorer.

It's only the top bar for some reason. I get '8.0' when I run those JS things. The other Flash on the page works fine.

Edit: And you're right: the Flash-detection call has just been commented out.

Hmm, I see it too. Looks like WDZ is working on something new for it...

WDZ doesnt work on the main Msgplus website.

Whoever creates the main page, I suppose that you know that Adobe have change the way flash acts when the particular page have flash animation.
Here's the way to change the codes,

Well, I couldn't know. Anyway whoever works on the main site, can you explain what's happening (or going to happen)?

It's probably a ultra low priority right now considering I think Guido is working on the new site for Messenger Plus Live!

The explanation comes late , but basically Patchou wanted to remove the Flash stuff from the website because in IE you now had to click once to activate the object, then a second time to click on a navbar item (due to the Eolas patent-related IE update). He preferred to stick to the static menu, although the static menu had the "Flash not detected" text in its images.
