Re: FLASH: Flash Player 5

[Joseph Balderson]

One solution to the whole flash plugin thing, if a client has not installed it yet,

albeit a rarity now with a documented (what was that figure?) 70%+ users having a

flash plug-in installed, is to use the following url:

(http://sdc.shockwave.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?)

instead of

(http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash)


The first url makes no mention nor any link to the new flash 5 player. A half

measure, to be sure, but at least you can rest assured that you did not knowingly

participate in sending users to possibly download a buggy player.
