Summary: Flash Player 8/9 ActiveX Control: animations flicker Product: Wine Version: CVS/GIT Platform: PC OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: wine-multimedia AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: emiller@imvu.com CC: emiller@imvu.com
When running Flash Player as an ActiveX control inside another program, flickering appears as regions are redrawn. This behavior appears in at least two programs:
* Internet Explorer 6 (through the ies4linux project) * IMVU (http://appdb.winehq.org/appview.php?iVersionId=3927&iTestingId=2551)
I know that ies4linux is unsupported by the WINE team, but since identical behavior appears in another executable that embeds Flash, I think it's a problem with WINE.
I am using the current GIT version of WINE (wine-0.9.45-g8d1a859).
Things I have discovered:
* The Flash plugin for Firefox works fine
* Using the latest nvidia and nv drivers does nothing to improve the situation ** Hardware: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV44 [Quadro NVS 285] (rev a1) ** Nvidia driver: 100.14.19
* I have tried multiple versions of the Flash ActiveX control, including: ** Flash9e.ocx (prerelease, see http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer9.html) ** Flash9c.ocx ** Flash8d.ocx
* The Flash 8 control flickers in a different but equally unacceptable way
To reproduce the problem in IE, download the Flash ActiveX control from Adobe and then go to a site with Flash (e.g. www.youtube.com). To reproduce the problem in IMVU, check Settings -> Use Text Chat and then click "My Room". The text chat box is a flash widget and flickers quite noticeably.
You can obtain different versions of the ActiveX control from Adobe here: http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_14266
Please let me know if I can provide more information.

--- Comment #2 from mike homerhomer@gmail.com 2008-06-13 20:18:29 --- I having this issue with wine-1.0-rc5.
I installed ie4linux http://www.tatanka.com.br/ies4linux/page/Installation Then went to www.youtube.com and noticed the flickering. :(
This seems like it might be important.

Firefox and flash work fine,
Thanks anyway
Then this bug is fixed. If you can reproduce in wine without using ies4linux, then open a new bug. Otherwise, file a bug with them.

Closing invalid.
