SM 2.7.2 and Flash 7

[A.D. Fundum]

Apparently Rich's Flash 7 plugin causes problems when downloading
files, i.e. the crashes I've reported earlier.

FWIW, I also like to add that this Flash 7-plugin "sometimes" works
when Flash 10+ is required by a website.

When I download a few serial YouTube videos ("part x of y"), using
another FF plugin, and move to the next video, some of the
YouTube-videos start playing automatically. Normally you'ld get to see
YouTubes' "You must update Adobe Flash Player to watch this
video"-message, but occasionally the video start playing. It may not
be important, but it may have to do with eachother.

Here's a screenshot, available for a short while, of a Flash 10+
YouTube-video played with a Flash 7 plugin. The latest SM 2.7.2, eCS
1.2 with Rich's flash7a63RW.zip:

FWIW.

Whose Flash?
Those are my initials but I don't recall ever packaging any such
file (or any version of Flash, for that matter).

I believe you changed a DLL call to dll in order to fix a
libpathstrict issue.

Hmmm... so I did - though I still don't recognize the filename
and can't find a copy on my system. Thanks for reminding me.

No EAs with the URL to confirm any e-vertise.com-origin, but there's a
TXT file with an unverified "I":

"Attached is the FLASH 7a package, updated with the DLL from the
windows 7.63 package, and that has been updated with Rich Walsh's
patch. I suggest closing all mozilla based programs, then remove the
old FLASH plugins (NPSWF*.DLL) from your plugins directory, then
follow the install instructions in the package.".

The RW fooled me, the README.TXT isn't written in RW's style and I've
already posted the matching FLASH7AR63RW.TXT file. Source unknown,
it's the only Flash 7 I've ever had.

Nevertheless somebody's Flash 7 package may or may not be broken.
There's an issue like not being able to download files in the usual
way, and sometimes it does play Flash 10 videos.
