Flash privacy settings problem using bareview meebo

[peebee]

Puppy 4.2.1 K2.6.25.16
Firefox 3.5.2
Shockwave Flash 10.0.r32

Built in bareview connection to meebo

When trying to access webcam, flash privacy settings box appears but seems to lack focus for any of its controls - even the close button.
Page freezes and only way out is to close it.

Same happens if Firefox used to connect to meebo.com

Wondering why and how to solve it.

Thanks

Same problem with Opera 10 and SeaMonkey 1.1.x.

No problems with Opera 10 for Windows with the Flash 10 plugin (also for Windows) under WINE (other than 2x higher CPU usage)

Hmmm .....

Those settings seems to only receive mouse clicks on gnome/kde WM desktop ...

Two workarounds that I know of :

1. Use tab to move selection focus and space-bar to select.

2. Adobe's online configuration manager.

The release notes for this version mention local security changes...

Thank you Patriot

The Tab / Spacebar workaround does indeed seem to work and is a way out of the problem.

2. Adobe's online configuration manager.

The online manager gives more options including listing sites that want to play with your internals...useful link cheers
