As of QT 7.1.3 released a couple of days ago, Quicktime no longer plays
flash tracks by default.
This is *not* flash files themselves, but flash tracks embedded in a QT
file.
If this is important to you, check the QT preferences menu for the newly
added "Media types" subsection, and tick the box "Enable playback of
flash tracks" which is unticked by default.
There are currently a lot of irritated content and production types on
the QT lists crying foul over this.
And no, I don't know what strategy this is supposed to help with, either
:-P Sounds like madness.
Cheers - Neil
