Hi
I have an Asus netbook running Lubuntu (Linux distro) and I find that when I log into CC I can't right-click, select the flash settings option, and enable my mic. The menu does appear, but 'Settings' is greyed out. If I boot into Windows 7 on the same netbook, no problem...
Because using Win7 on this netbook is a pain for lots of other reasons (despite it being the OS it came with), I wanted to get my mic working on CC when using Linux, so I did a search of the web and found out that apparently if the flash window is below a certain size, flash automatically disables access to local flash settings, i.e the right-click menu option.
I thought that might have something to do with it and I wondered if I could gain access to the flash settings menu by having the flash bit of the website display in a different size. So I did a bit of trial-and-error and ended up finding out the 'swf' name of the flash section (don't know the proper names as not a tech!), adding it to the URL and then pasting the various settings that usually appear at the end.
By doing this, I not only got the mic to work (settings menu came up fine) but the chatroom automatically resized to my browser, which means I no longer have to use the Firefox zoom settings to see the whole page.
So I'm really pleased that I've got what I want. But I don't want to be seen to be doing anything untoward, hence I'm running this by folk. Is what I'm doing ok?
