Re: FLASH: auto detect browsers or let user choose?

[Michael Penne]

I generally do a simple check, small movie that get urls the main flash

site. Many of the sites with auto-detects seem to use rather sloppy

java/javascript code that works poorly if at all (if you think about it

the java/javascripts are searching the HD for the plugs and/or other

such intrusion, so of course system and network resources get

hammered).


As a side note, notice how so many web designer job descriptions ask

for people who are expert flash/shockwave designers, 3d animators,

digital video experts, _and_ expert java/javascript coders? As it

anyone could be expert (or even highly competant) at any one of the

above without spending 90% of their time on it....;-).
