    I was wondering if anyone here could help me with this problem. For some reason, on some flash content, I can only hear the audio (and I can see the little bar below where the video should be that allows me to pause, etc) BUT I can't see the video. I can only hear it. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling flash. Doesn't solve the problem. Does anybody have any idea what the problem might be and how to solve it?? Thanks so much.

    What program are you using for playback? And do any other type videos have the same problem? I ask this because overlay settings can effect video and cause a 'black screen' playback.

    I'm not sure VLC media player will play flash, but it plays just about everything and the overlay settings can be changed. It also has built in codecs, so it's a good test to see if you have a problem with your installed system codecs.

    I think "shockwave Flash object" is what I have for a player. It's weird because it half works (since it plays the audio). Something must be causing a conflict with the video. Any idea??
    And thanks for the info on VLC, I will download it and see what happens. If you have any other ideas on why the audio plays (and the little bar at the bottom that you can pause the video shows also) but not the video, please let me know.

    If its a downloadable file download it and use something like avicodec or gspot to see what codec it is using. Then you can download the appropriate video codec.

    Also try using mediaplayerclassic - it also has a lot of internal codecs and might work with it.

    actually, it's not downloadable. That's part of the charm of Flash is that you don't have to download it. But thanks for the idea.
