Flash problems after ClearClick warning

Hi

Sorry, my computer skills are fairly non-existent. I did, however, have enough sense to install NoScript. One day I got a ClearClick warning (?) when watching some video. I can't remember what I clicked when it showed up, I probably just closed the page. After that I've had flash behaving strangely; with some flash videos clicking the "progress bar" under the picture doesn't move the video backward or forward but the video always starts from the beginning. Some pages with flash don't work at all even though I allow everything on the page.

When I got the warning I was using an older version of Firefox but the latest version of NoScript. Could you help please?

Oh yeah, sorry, I uninstalled Flash and reinstalled it. Didn't help. The problem occurs with both Safari and Firefox.

If this issue occurs on Safari then it's not related to NoScript. Are you sure that this warning was from NS?

Also, what version of Flash are you running?

The warning was definitely from NoScript. My Flash version is 11.9.900.117, it should be the latest. I understand that you can't know what I've clicked and what settings I have with NoScript (haven't touched the defaults except added allowed sites), but can I have messed something up with the message and now have some flash-related malware on my computer? Is this normal :)

That is not necessarily abnormal.
Depends on the player & the streaming method.

URLs?

If Safari is likewise affected, then that tends to point to it not being NoScript related as NoScript has no affect on Safari.

Yeah, I know NS doesn't affect Safari, just thought it could be some kind of a flash bug that got through from Firefox, but maybe I'm being hysterical. Maybe it's something else or maybe it's nothing. Thanks anyway, barbaz and therube!
