Fwd: Flash based games not working

[Arie Skliarouk]

Forwarding to Linux-Il (see the message below).

I don't have a way to check flash player 9 on the wejew.com or
walla.comsites. Can someone check the sites using flash player 9
please?

I had the same problem with an application I developed in Haxe. It was
related to a security change macrodobia made with the way a new
"security" feature works with the new players. When connecting to a
socket, the new players now request a policy file from the server, and
if it doesn't exist, it just closes the connection. Old code that
isn't updated to use this "feature" seems to get stuck when
downloading something through sockets, like video players not playing
the video, the spinner thing spinning forever, etc...

Try to downgrade to a player version lower than 9.0.115.0, if it
works, maybe that's the problem.
