 * Ok, suddenly on my blog, my Flash Uploader button has stopped functioning. When
   I right click in the area it should be, it says Movie Not Loaded. I tried the
   browser uploader and that worked fine. I disabled all my plugins but it still
   is present. I also have 777 permission access for the custom upload folder I 
   use, and the info is set correctly in the image settings area. Can it be an issue
   with file permissions for a particular file?

 * What version of Flash are you using? Have you tried this in any other browsers,
   and (if possible) on any other computers?

 * I have never seen that before. I suppose that it could be a permission issue.
   Check the `/wp-admin/` and `/wp-includes/` directories. Make sure that the directories
   are set to 755 and the files are set to 644.

 * Well I checked that, still didnt work … so went last resort and reuploaded my
   wp-admin and wp-include folders… that seemed to fix it. maybe a file got corrupted
   some how … I wish I knew why.
