Some animations, multimedia applications or control buttons for validating user input data that are embedded in a flash container need to call external (x)html code (remote javascript, XML files or action script) to be properly managed and displayed so you can interact with them. Not all the flashes out there are just "movies" :-) Greetings, -- Camaleón -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Flash is, for me, not a _must have_ (as explained by the other posts), but including ``facilities'' for it in Debian would be really necessary: something like 90% of the users must encounter the same problem as me, and, despite having a nice documentation, Debian is here lacking something. (I really like Debian and I would not use another distro, but this is something from my personal point of view.) I had also problems for Java and related apps. Is default-jre already installed with a default install of Debian? - -- Merciadri Luca See http://www.student.montefiore.ulg.ac.be/~merciadri/ - -- Don't try to teach a pig to sing.
