[SWFObject] Detect missing Flash Player and Auto-Install late st Flash Pl...

[WASouthPNT at aol.com]

Yes, you could, but this does not address the concern.  My users want to 
automatically and seamlessly have the plugin installed without having to be 
redirected to adobe and click around to get the plugin installed.   Dare I say, my 
users are not that sharp.

If plugin installation could happen automatically with just one popup 
confirming the activex control install, WITHOUT being redirected, then that is the 
ticket.

Can you just add an auto-redirect to the flash download in the alt content

Flash Player

expresinstall only works if you have flash player 6.0.65 already installed.
if you don't have flash player at all, you have to go to adobe to get it or
let the browser try to install it.
