FLASH: Problems with tutorials

[CWSTEVNS]

   Hi all- first time on the list. I'm having a problem working with all .fla 

file formats downloaded from tutorial sites (c. moock, flashzone etc.) I am 

on a G3 Mac-333 with OS 8.5.1, I have Stuffit Deluxe 5.1 to unzip these 

.fla's. They unzip fine- except they unzip as "simpletext" files, which are 

unusable by Flash 4. I'm using AOL 4.0,Netscape 4.0 and I.E 4.5- and I've 

also tried another IP server, with these 3 browsers - no luck.  I'm totally 

baffled - I tried to use "helpers" in AOL to set up a mime alternative, 

pointing AOL directly to SDeluxe 5 for unzippping files with .zip extensions 

- nadda...??? I'm interested to see if any other Mac users are sucessful at 

getting ANY of the .zip tute's from Flashzone or C. Moock's site to work in 

Flash4.

    One more thing - AOL 4 and IE 4.5 DO NOT work with flash content sites 

(Mac 8.5.1, G3)  Netscape 4.0 never has a problem. The other 2 seem to lose 

their flash, aftershock plug-ins every time you shut down the programs???? 

The next time you launch IE, or AOL - go to a flashed site - broken icon 

---"you need plug-in ". I have loaded the plug-ins into both programs every 

which possible way - it may work that session - but next time it has lost the 

plug-ins.
