Hi, Martin,
Thanks for your reply. When you said to just install Flash, your brevity
actually was helpful. It made me think that maybe getting FlashPlayer to
run correctly on Sugar is a non-issue by now. I plan to retry the Flash and

Sorry, guys, but I just don't see why the content is somehow corrupted or

So, I guess you don't install any software that you download and run, like
