1: Adobe's web site has some flash tests.  Unfortunately, I don't
remember where they're located.  It's been a long time since I used
them, and I didn't keep any bookmarks.

2: If you are using something like NoScript, you may be blocking the
site that is actually sending the flash data.  That happens to me
quite a bit.  So while I can view YouTube vids with no trouble, some
other sites just sit there looking blank.  :-)  Enabling the data
source site fixes things right up.  It may take a bit of experimenting
to find which sites are the ones you want, though.

Hope this helps.
