If you go to this site:
http://abclocal.go.com/wabc/story?se...amp;id=3309155
and click on "Flash Video: See the Forecast", does it work on your Mac? I've tried it with Safari, Firefox and Opera on my Macs and it won't play with any browser. I tried it on a friends PC with IE and it played without a problem.
Is there any way that I can get it to play on my Macs?

Ticking sound coming from a .pkg package? Don't let the .bom go off! Inspect it first with Pacifist. Macworld - five mice!

Just click the link I provided! It has the movie you're looking for.

What I meant by "View Page Source" was just to say how I found the link. I just viewed the source of the page you linked to, and searched for "swf".
