Flash Viewability Question

[eegvt]

Ok...flat line moment...am finding that my animation cannot be viewed on computers that are in "big" companies with lots of firewalls, etc. Can't remember the code/process to program in that will prompt the user to download flash player or at least give an explanation of why they can't view the animation.

Any ideas?

Sounds like you need swfobject (http://blog.deconcept.com/swfobject/).

It has an expressinstall .as file that forces a users flash plugin to update and then redirects them back to the page they were at.

Thanks Aerospace Eng....there's SO much to learn that school doesn't cover. Isn't that always the way? I appreciate the wealth of info. Need to download the swf express install. I appreciate it! Have a great New Year!
