Mark et al.,

Most of the movies on the Web nowadays are Flash 4.  Squeak only
understands Flash 3. However - you can fool Squeak by changing:

FlashFileReader>>maximumSupportedVersion
	^ 4

This makes it consume many (most?) Flash 4 files.  However, and audio will
be nonsense - Flash 4 apparently uses MP3 for its sound and Squeak will
attempt to play it as SampledSound.  You can quickly shut the sound down by
hacking

FlashMorph>>playFlashSound:

These are just hacks until whoever (Andreas?) updates Squeak Flash.
