Frame 1 cannot be added.<BR>><BR>> So it seems that the solution in this opensource compiler environment <BR>> is to compile a pre-loader swf - a Flash sniffer (using ExpressInstall<BR>> class) - which launches before the main movie (not containing<BR>> ExpressInstall class).<BR>><BR>> Is this correct? Is there a standalone Expressinstall.swf movie<BR>> somewhere?<BR>><BR>> DL<BR>> _______________________________________________<BR>> SWFObject mailing list<BR>> <A href="mailto:SWFObject@lists.deconcept.com">SWFObject@lists.deconcept.com </A><BR>> <A href="http://lists.deconcept.com/listinfo.cgi/swfobject-deconcept.com">http://lists.deconcept.com/listinfo.cgi/swfobject-deconcept.com</A><BR><BR>_______________________________________________<BR>SWFObject mailing list <BR><A href="mailto:SWFObject@lists.deconcept.com">SWFObject@lists.deconcept.com</A><BR><A href="http://lists.deconcept.com/listinfo.cgi/swfobject-deconcept.com">http://lists.deconcept.com/listinfo.cgi/swfobject-deconcept.com </A><BR></BLOCKQUOTE></DIV><BR><DIV style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">_______________________________________________</DIV><DIV style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">SWFObject mailing list</DIV><DIV style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><A href="mailto:SWFObject@lists.deconcept.com">SWFObject@lists.deconcept.com</A></DIV><DIV style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><A href="http://lists.deconcept.com/listinfo.cgi/swfobject-deconcept.com">http://lists.deconcept.com/listinfo.cgi/swfobject-deconcept.com</A></DIV> </BLOCKQUOTE></DIV><BR></DIV></BODY></HTML>
