RE: FLASH: Windows Flash projector Question

[Williams, Marcus]

As far as the 'browser' portion of this question.

The O/S (Win) has a pointer and key entry in the registry that sets one of

those two browsers (if both are installed on the same PC) as the "Default"

and that one will open everything browser related unless directly re-pointed

to the other browser.

Yes.  According to Matt W, this has been logged as a kind of bug, to be

addressed in Flash 5.

Never tried either of these, as I don't have such a system.  Anyone

else?

They're not stupid questions at all.  I don't know how the OS determines

which browser to open based on what Flash/Geturl tells it--maybe someone

at Macromedia could pass you some more detailed info (didn't see any

when I was looking around at the MM site).
