All Widgets are Black in Mac Dashboard

[Paul Saieg]

I am running into a rather odd problem and am new to yourminis
widgets. The problem is that whenever I download a yourminis widget
for Mac OS X Dashboard and install it, the widget is just a black box
of the same dimensions the working widgets should have been. This is
true of any widget I get from yourminis, I have tried other people's
widgets (like the weather channel's) and building and uploading the
tutorial widgets (hello world and friends, which I can build fine and
they work as swfs on my machine) when I upload them, add them to my
widget dashboard and click "copy me" to download them as dashboard
widgets they don't work -- just black like the others. I am running
Leopard 10.5.6 on a new MacBook Pro 2.8ghz / 4gig. Any help would be
greatly appreciated.

I noticed that the widgets are black boxes at first and then after a few seconds they load, presumably as they are being downloaded from our servers.  Do your widgets load eventually or are they permanently black boxes?

Thanks for the reply, it gave me the clue I needed. The problem was I
had Little Snitch running
and hadn't created a rule to let the dashboard call out to
yourminis.com, so my widgets weren't loading.
I added the rule, now everything is kosher. Thanks.
