Check your browser and related software for 'basic' working compatibility. This will ensure an uninterrupted, pleasing, eye candy experience throughout the websites pages.
All information throughout the site is provided in a text format. Unfortunately without the Flash player installed, you will miss out on the many video, music and photo galleries which need the flash player in order to be viewed.
To deliver multiple media formats, at the highest, reasonable quality, with the main goal of the least amount of wait or page loading time, the flash format provides the most versatile and smallest file sizes.
We trust this is ok with you!??!
Facts: Over 95% of all PC's have Flash installed. (This is a rough estimate). The Flash format is considered pretty safe and has grown in popularity among media and animation producers. It is common for developers to use flash in web sites, advertising, as well as other portable media, including some video and audio players. Flash is becoming increasingly popular in mobile phones as well.
“Easy access. Simply click the links provided to view or start playback.
Yes, That should echo through all the pages. We've worked hard to create a great experience, whether you are one of the regular visitors or just passing through.
Technology and software is continually improving offering new features and of course you must have heard of bug fixes by now! These advances require that the software be regularly updated.
In larger organisations, updates are normally carried out automatically or on some kind of change control basis. In smaller companies or the home user, the individual is left, having to do these updates on their own. Many times, an application, website or service is not used often.
As an example, you use an online photo sharing service, mainly from home. Today you need to upload some images from the office. The service uses special software or a plug-in. You didn't know, someone else setup up your home system, the plug-in installed silently the first time - but you didn't notice, your office connection is slow today.. Nothings working???
Or the opposite - You are at home, trying to access someplace, maybe even work related, (God forbid
), and you can't understand why the download should be taking so long or be any different on your dial-up connection. The list goes on..
There are many examples we could use, but the most common reason for these, as we could simply call them “annoyances, disruptions in service, delays” etc: is due to ignorance. It's not your field, you don't care, no one told you.... Simply not knowing about it, how to do it or why it's important.
Well maybe this section has helped a little..!
If your version number is not listed on the top left of this page then you can use the links below for confirming your system has the latest revision or find out what version you are on. You can also simply watch some cute animations and do an update if any don't show..
Really small quick animated flash samples. Animations shown in a new window correspond to the flash version numbers shown next to the links.
ENABLE OR ALLOW POP-UPS TO USE THESE TESTS EFFECTIVELY or easily, with quick return...
No media, (flash, video, music) is contained in this page, to ensure no problems before this warning and allowing you to confirm or check your system. Links to test media open in a new window above this one and are moveable and re-sizable. When finished close the window to return here.
“This is a useful pop up if there is
such a thing”. Used for the purpose of accentuating the presentation
of the various media, with forewarning and optional opt-in. All links still
work if pop-ups blockers are enabled. Windows will simply open based on
your settings then.
Pop-ups, on this site, are used to enhance the experience of viewing various multimedia items, when they benefit visually by having a structured or set window size or don't integrate into the sites standard navigation. By using a pop-up, one can simply close the window and continue where you left off.
A different example is the media player that can be opened in a small pop-up, moved any where on screen or to a second monitor. Perfect, you don't need to stay on the page offering the streaming music, or keep it open. You can continue reading or surfing while listening to the player. All pop-ups degrade nicely, meaning if you use a pop-up blocker or open windows in separate tabs, this should work no problem. This is meant as a feature and is not an absolute requirement. If you have any problems do let us know.
Small and quick checks for different flash versions. Script and no script code is included: for your convenience, but not available on all the browsers, opening the links below will initiate an automatic update from the manufacturers sight. If a window does not display any content, check that there is no additional activity on your connection that may indicate an automatic update in progress. No updates or software is installed from this site. All plug-ins are delivered with the developers standard approved scripts and guidelines.
We trust that this section is of help to any one that is not a computor expert and not sure of all these funny plug-ins and mystery magic technology that the web world loves to use so much..
