  1. How to View Flash (Moving) Elements

    You need Flash Player to view moving elements on this site. You can download this from the Adobe website:
    Adobe Flash Player Download Center

    You also need javascript turned on to view Flash elements. (If you have Flash Player installed and still cannot see a moving element, javascript may be turned off.) You can turn on javascript by following the instructions below.

    Turning javascript on

    Internet Explorer (v. 5/6/7):

    1. Select Tools > Internet Options from the browser menu. (If you're using IE 7, you can access Tools using the icon at the top right of your screen.)
    2. Select the Security tab, then click the button marked Custom Level.
    3. Scroll down about three quarters of the way until you find the Scripting heading.
    4. The first subheading is Active Scripting.
    5. Ensure that the checkbox marked Enable is checked.
    6. Click buttons to make and confirm the change.

    Firefox (v.1/2/3):

    1. Select Tools > Options from the browser menu.
    2. If you have Firefox v.1, click on Web Features. If you have Firefox v.2 or 3, click on Content.
    3. Locate the checkbox labeled Enable JavaScript and ensure that it is checked.
    4. Click OK.

    Turning javascript off

    If you're viewing a large Flash element using a slow (dial-up) connection, you may wish to turn javascript off. We'll always provide a plain graphic and a description of the Flash element, so you'll still be able to get the information. To turn javascript off, follow the steps above, but make sure that the checkbox for 'Disable' is checked (rather than the checkbox for 'Enable').
