You can get into it if you spoof as IE, but the radio still will not play.

Rich text editors... Active X controls?
I am having problems with Hotmail and Yahoo mail in that the rich text editors are not appearing when I use Firefox 1.0... I believe this is because the coloured fonts etc are an Active X control?
Am I correct in saying that the Active X plug-in in the guide given previously is only for enabling Active X functionality through Windows Media Player? How then, would I go about enabling the rich text editor in hotmail?
Thanks very much.

Thanks for getting back to me. I'm sorry I wasn't clear in my post. I was trying to view the Harry Potter clip when I got those results. But I did go to Accuradio and got sound.Vectorspace wrote:buddy779 wrote:When trying the ActiveX test. I get WMP 10 to pop up. WMP says says "connecting", then "connecting to media". The Web page says "Transitioning", but the view window stays black. Then WMP says "Ready" and the web page says "Status: 10". The window stays black. I have AdBlock disabled. Any suggestions?
You have to select the Harry Potter trailer on the left, then press the play button below. The others will just say "Status: 10" - I think they are broken.
Found the problem. I was using a proxy server. If you want to use one, you must configure it into WMP. Everything works fine now.

Please Help
Were you trying to listen to Launch.com radio (launchcast)? I say in Note 3 of the guide that Launch/yahoo radio doesn't work

Try downloading an extension xpi and installing it in the same way. If the same thing happens, then post a new topic saying you can't install xpi's.

Scottylad: no, this works with other ActiveX plugins than just Windows Media Player. The problem is some ActiveX components also rely on IE-specific Javascript, like the Yahoo Rich Text Editor. I tried the ActiveX plugin with it the other day - if you switch UserAgent to spoof IE 6, Yahoo mail will send the ActiveX rich text editing component down the pipe, and I set the ActiveX plugin to run anything (just as a test while on mail.yahoo.com - don't actually leave your browser set like this, very unsafe of course). The rich text editor shows up, but the buttons don't appear to work so it's not actually useable.
I have had similar experiences with some other ActiveX components - it seems like the simple ones are more likely to work without a problem, and the funkier more interactive ones are less likely to work. This ActiveX plugin is pretty neat and does its job quite well, but it's not a cure-all to the woes of IE-only site content.

After reloaded the firefox still it no exist in the Extension window, and of course no radio on the link for test the activex code.

firefoxlover: it's not actually an extension, it's a plugin, so you won't see anything in your extensions window. Make sure you shut down Firefox all the way (CTRL-ALT-DEL to go to task manager, if you see firefox.exe, kill it). In this one case, you might even be advised to try restarting your computer, since I had some trouble getting the plugin to be recognized (had to restart FF several times).
As for radio - not sure which test link you mean. The test link on the ActiveX plugin download site should have several movie clips to view. Make sure you are testing on that page since it's known to work and doesn't require any funny tweaking. Like I said, reboot and try again if all else fails, and you should at least see those movie clips on the test page now.
