The Problem
A number of users have reported that they have got to a certain spot in a
lesson and then the slide they are on "freezes". They go back later and find that
the lesson freezes in exactly the same spot. What's happening?
When you start a lesson, your browser downloads a number of files behind the scenes
to a temporary spot computer on your computer called a "cache". Then your browser uses
its version of the the Adobe Flash® Player to "play that movie". If you need to play
the movie again, the Flash Player plays that cached file again.
Sometimes, the downloaded file in your cache becomes corrupted. This may be due
to a hiccup in your internet connection or some small incompatability between the
version of your browser and the version of Flash you are using. In any case, when
you try to play this movie again, the Player runs into the same spot in the downloaded
cache and freezes again.
