Hi PB,
Yes I agree, Flash in it's own right is ideal, but what we have to put up with is very tedious. I have a Dell PC just to access the online CBT with about 300k broadband connection and it's painfully slow to watch it loading the audio file and graphic files. I was similarly suprised that the Mac would have an issue with Flash given the Adobe genesis but I have tried in both Mac OSX and Bootcamp/XP and get the same results. The odd thing is that I briefly used Mac Parallels and the CBT was happy to operate then, but Parallels and I had a falling out once I realised it took 30 minutes for an AutoCAD map file to load in Parallels (I know, I'm very impatient!)
I fired a query across to the Maccies on the net and a very knowledgeable bloke told me that this was a known issue, not resolvable as yet, I am looking to see if Lepoard will fix it - at least that will be my excuse for getting the update.
When we first went to the CBT system replacing the tech days, the company issued CD Roms with the programs and so it was offline and faster, but the down side was there was no way that an audit trail could be generated for pilot performance and the cost of issuing CDR's would have been substantial in comparison to the software guys who maintain the system for us (I guess)
Regards
