Hi everyone,

We have discovered that with using Adobe Flash's latest version (v18) in any browser, some of the popup messages are not being displayed.

For example, the popup message that used to read "Congratulations, your sequence is saved looks like:

We believe the message doesn't show as the new Flash version might have removed the font used to render these pages or change the way text is displayed.

While I have submitted an bug report with Flash, I think we might not be able to get much help there.

But as you might be aware, we've been working on an Authoring interface that requires no Flash at all. It uses HTML5 and SVG graphics and so far -in our limited testing, is working OK.

Given this Flash change, we will be testing this flashless interface a lot more and hopefully we'll be able to release it shortly.

We'll roll this out first to the translators and then to the general public. If you want to be part of the first, rollout, just email me directly to let me know.

Thanks,

Ernie
