FLASH: Under the Flashing Sky

[Jeff Bradshaw]

This is kinda (OT) but certainly Flash related....I've produced some

"stuff" for a client, some of which is Flash based. Everything runs fine

locally on the clients hard drive, but I rec'd an email yesterday

stating..."Good morning, I got all your messages.

Just to clarify, I have no problem opening default.htm after I unzip it,

from my local drive. When I copied over to my server, run within my

INTRANET server, it only shows the blue background.  Is it that I might

have to install Flash? This is not good, because I have over 100+ users

all over the place, we have such a difficulty to install IE 4.0 on their

desk top (it's been over 2 months and it's not done yet!) so, I really

don't want to have to install anything on their PC, even if it's easy,

free, and downloadable....That's why we want everything to be Intranet,

not client server, so we don't need to have anything installed on any

user pc."


Now I'm thinking to myself, I've got plan B if this goes real bad, and I

certainly need to talk to the MIS people first to make sure the "mime

type" is set...but in light of all the talk about Flash plug-in

saturation...has anyone else run into this "Oh my god, the sky is

falling" scenario?
