Do you have Real Player installed?
(go to he help and support page at abcnews.go.com and you will see that Real Player is required)

I also believe that Flash is used for animation not video.

Thanks for the input...

I created an association between IE7 and .swf. No go.

I used Adobe's UNinstaller to wipe out Flash on all browsers, then
brought up ABC with IE7 once again. It did not ask for Flash
installation - seemed not to be aware of it, as before.

Then I linked to another Flash site that previously worked in IE7, and
before it could display it asked to install Flash.

Returned to ABC and this time it produced the player, and did as it
should. Reinstalled Flash in SeaMonkey, and now both browsers can be
used for this page.

Go figger.
