for installation<BR></FONT><BR></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV>i suggest using a normal object/embed tag if you want to force a activex
install on your site....</DIV>
<DIV><BR class=khtml-block-placeholder></DIV>
<DIV>then when the install finishes, just send them back to the original page
and swfobject should see that they now have the correct version installed.</DIV>
<DIV><BR class=khtml-block-placeholder></DIV>
<DIV>i normally don't like doing hte activex installs anymore.. too many people
think it's spyware and might just leave when they see that box pop up. not to
mention the little yellow bar they have to click. sending them to the adobe site
seems more trustworthy to me (although i do hate that they bundle the yh toolbar
with it now - but at least it's optional and only IE users get offered it)</DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=796072015-28072006><FONT face=Arial size=2>We stumbled across
this library earlier this week and it looks very very promising to solve a lot
of the cross-browser flash problems we've been running into. But after
searching through the archives of this list and the blogs, I still have a very
newbie question.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=796072015-28072006><FONT face=Arial size=2>I can see how I
can check versions against the one I require, and build the alternate content
to direct the user to a download. But it seems we lose the nice automagic
installation we get with the object tag method. That is, once we direct the
user to download the right version of Flash, what's the best way to get our
stuff to reload and display now that flash is there? Page
refresh?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
