Re: FLASH: Flash in IE3

[Samir]

Hi,

 

As far as I know from Macromedia, my homework site, flash can be viewed by "ALLL" especially the IE browsers. The client defenetely wanted a lot of interactivity so, flash..... the person in concern is not exactly a client of the client however he is one of the major "types" who will be viewing these pages... I still feel its a problem with the browser and as I have noticed in another mail, it might be his browser settings..

 

Thanx anyway,

 

Sam

For starters, he's using a v3.0 browser.  That could be problem enough.  Did you recommend the upgrade to higher/more current browser?

 

Is there a need for the 3.0 browser?

 

What is the "typical user's" browser?

 

Did they intend to leave out a lot of customers by not giving them a choice of HTML or Flash?

 

Was it recommended that the client do both (or did someone merely push the Flash technology without explaining some of the pitfalls)?

 

I'm pretty sure those are the basics that should have covered it all...

 

Anything more and I'll have to be like Bruce Epstein and start charging...lol...

 

Check with the end user.  Do more testing.  Ask more questions.  Find answers before assuming someone's a "bloke" lest ye be the bloke yourself.

 

HTH,

Hi Russel,

 

I feel its something wrong with his own browser but only time could tell that.....

 

Currently, this is where he cant go to:

I have told my immediate clients who own this site that their client cant view it because of some problems with his own browser but this is something I myself am not sure about. I was hoping if someone from the list can verify this!

 

Sam,

Does IE3 on WIndows95 have a problem with auto plugin? If not, than how come this client of mine is? Isnt IE supposed to do it for yourself... This bloke gets the Plugins page in his IE and I am kinda bugged about that! Any help?

 

 

For starters, Sam, what have you already asked this client?

 

For an older version of IE (version 3), I would hesitate to think that it would do "anything" for you.  Flash was hardly as present with that version of the browser.

 

What have you found out from your client already?  Give us more information and I'm guessing we can better server you.
