I have the oddest problem (but aren't all programming problems odd?). I have a winform that contains a webbrowser object that opens a website that has flash on it. This winform is running on a touchscreen computer (I can't find the brand or model number).

Here is what I know:

  • flash objects embeded in a website that is accessed via the webbrowser object in my winform do not function properly
  • said flash objects only react to the first 'click' on them. So the website opens and if I hit a button, that button works but nothing afterward works within the flash object works. If my first 'click' misses a button, nothing works there after.
  • trying to 'click' an flash button gives the same response as just hovering over the button
  • This isn't a problem with the touch part of the touch screen as using a mouse also gives the same not working right response
  • this isn't a problem with the web page as I can open up explorer on the same computer and navigate the webpage just fine from there
  • The program also works 100% right on my personal computer so it shouldn't be the program's fault
  • if it's not the touch screen fault and not the program's fault, I can't blame anything right now.
  • the EXACT same program worked 100% on our old touch screen (which was having other problems so we had to get rid of it).
  • Oh, also, surfing just a 'normal' webpage in a webbrowser in the winform works just fine.
