Hey everyone,
We are using a FlashWindow (from wx.lib.flashwin import FlashWindow) to show tutorials made in Wink, but they are not working anymore. I have been able to duplicate the wonderful PyAssertionError in a very tiny example of code attached. Was this broken in wx2.8.1, or python 2.5? Any help would be greatly appreciated as we can't really roll this product out without our tutorials and were hoping to do so soon.
Thanks!

I don't get an error. What is the actual traceback you are seeing?

How interesting, here is what I get:
Traceback (most recent call last):

The problem was that I didn't have Flash installed for Internet Explorer (althought I did for Firefox).
This is really weird to me, as it doesn't seem like only people that use IE should be able to view our
flash tutorials inside our application. Is there any way to decouple this from browser plugins? Maybe
I am not quite understanding it.

It's not a specific to the browser, but it does require an ActiveX control. (FlashWindow derives from wx.activex.ActiveXWindow.) So if Flash only installs the ActiveX version when you specify IE support then that's what you need to do.

Okay, fair enough. Thanks!
