Leopard + Flash = Text Problem

[stoid]

I regularly play Scrabulous (Scrabble) on Facebook and after upgrading via Erase and Install, the text renders really weird. Is anyone else having a problem like this? I haven't noticed it in any other Flash app though. Any ideas? Thanks!

Just to be certain, I downloaded and installed the latest Flash Player from Adobe's website, but the problem persists.

I'm having the exact same problem - however, I did a clean install when I installed Leopard. Anyone have any ideas??

Alright, I found a solution! If you download the Flash 9 Beta from http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer9.html the text becomes readable!

Hey guys, I was having the same problem with Scrabulous, and I tried to install the update to the Flash player. I keep getting an error message during the install -- this is on 10.5.1 btw:

Error creating file.
1008:5,-5000 Access Denied Error

(Click OK)

Next dialog:

You do not have enough access privileges for this installation.

I have already run a Disk Utility repair permissions on my hard drive, still getting the error, and am logged in with my administrator account.

Any ideas?

The solution to the problem I had in the above message, in case anyone else runs into it --

Open Directory Utility, enable the root user account (under "edit"), set a root password
Log out of OS X
Log in with "Other" and enter root as the user and the password you set for the root account
Run the installer

Enjoy....
