has it got somthing to do with the "beta" thing on the discription? dunno, i'm new too.

You have to make drawings with the flash based tool, before you are permitted to use the java tool.

I also have the same problem.. this is the script detail 

i tested my java and it says its working right,, i can see the little icon dancing around.. i uninstalled it and reinstalled it
i checked the advanced settings under the internet options and then rechecked them and restarted my computer each time i tried .. i restored 2 x and nothing is helping  i am not sure if it is just this site or others...
