Re: FLASH: No Flash Player (Corporate Restrictions)

[John Dowdell]

This sounds like "What can I tell visitors who aren't permitted to modify

their browsers?" If so, there could be a variety of things to point out:


--  If they don't have the Macromedia Flash Player installed, then they'll

likely notice differences on many many sites, not just yours.


--  IE/Win security restrictions are great for preventing naive computer

users from accepting bad ActiveX Controls. But that's a little different

than the Macromedia Flash Player, which is a well-recognized ActiveX

Control. The IS department there might wish to do a full browser

installation, or even license it for internal use:

--  If someone cannot download a player over the net, then it's available

on their browser CDs and operating system CDs... just doing a more complete

software installation on that protected computer can get them what they

want.


--  If someone is on a company computer that does not permit the Macromedia

Flash Player, then the company might not want people spending their

workhours visiting websites around the world.... ;-)  (In other words, the

symptom may be intentional.)
