Animation Not Displaying or Warning Messages Display

    If your animation does does not display in the preview window, there are several possible reasons:
    1) You don't have the Flash plugin. Using Internet Explorer browser, go to www.macromedia.com download page and download the latest Flash plugin.
    2) You have javascript or activeX disabled. You can control this in Internet Explorer options settings.
    3) There are security settings issues which are addressed below.

Internet Explorer Security Issues

    With the introduction of Windows XP SP2, there have been changes to Windows which affect Flash animation. To avoid a security warning when a Flash animation plays from a local file off your hard disk, a special comment line can be added to the html file. By default, KoolMoves adds this line called Mark of Web. The line is the following:
<!-- saved from url=(0013)about:internet -->

    This line causes the file to display using Internet security level rather than Local security level which tends to be more restrictive for XP SP2, in particular in preventing active file content (e.g., Flash movies) from displaying.

    All animation preview windows in KoolMoves use local html files so this issue affects KoolMoves functionality.

    Other operating systems and service packs or security configurations may have a problem with this line. In any case, you can control whether the line is added or not added in File > Preferences > Player tabbed page.

    You can also control the Internet Explorer security warning in Windows XP SP2, by opening Internet Explorer and clicking on Tools/Internet Options/Advanced and searching for the Security group, the last one. Enable "Allow active content to run in files on My Computer".
