Flash animation in Opera

[Gilthanaz]

It pains me to say it, but I've encountered a problem in Opera that IE doesn't have. It seems that pages with flash animation often cause it to crash, although not always immediately. I am using the latest version and i tried re-installing opera and the flash plugin, it still does it.

I have the same problem. Opera's previous versions (pre v.7) don't seem to have this problem, but I like the new features of Version 7...any suggestions for Gilthanaz would help me too.

Update-

Turns out I didnt have THE newest version (i updated from 7.11 to 7.23). However, I haven't tested it out yet with any flash sites yet however..Stealthy, what version are you using?

[StealthyV]

7.22.
I'm going to try the latest...you say it's 7.23?

also in the "About" section[color=dark red] (under the "Help" tab on the navigation bar[/color], here is some of what's listed:

Mail directory: C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Application Data\Opera\Opera7.1\Mail
Help documents C:\Program Files\Opera7.1\Help
Plug-in path *empty*

I'm thinking that i need to give my Opera install a plugin directory, and then install the flash plugin at this directory.

I'm still tinkering :0)

version 7.23 works fine with the Flash plugin. I'm running it now and can see all the Flash advertisements on websites *sigh* just fine.

I haven't had a problem and I'm using more of a later version than that even and didn't have a problem with 7.23, but all were on a clean install, so I have opera 7.50 preview 2.
Works just fine with the latest version of flash player, get that from http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/...ShockwaveFlash
It works just fine for me, if not, look at backing up your skins, book marks.
Then delete the opera profile and uninstall opera and do a clean install. Do this if your still having a problem Gilthanaz.
