Hello folks,

$ wine iexplore.exe http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player.html
--- snip ---

The animation (tree with clouds) is only shown when one puts the mouse over the
empty client area and starts dragging (left click and drag):

--- snip ---
5. Verify whether Flash Player is installed

If you see clouds moving in the animation below, you have successfully
installed Flash Player. Congratulations! 

If you don't see the animation after completing all the steps, refresh this
page using the icon below.

<empty client area>

Still having problems?
--- snip ---

That's likely a problem with builtin mshtml/ieframe. The general functionality
seems to work. Most flash-only websites are nowadays gone so it's hard to test
outside of the Adobe test pages.

NOTE: It would have been better to have a 'Wine' product bug for this issue as
well or only one that is with 'Wine' product. See
https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=32772#c16 for rationale.
