FLASH: DoD Policy: attn. Macromedia Support

[AndrewScratch]

Hello again all,


I'm sorry for bringing up this topic again, but getting some official word from Macromedia may help with future contracts for Govenment Flash sites (and help me get my site up, specifically).


The network people at the Pentagon strongly contend that Flash player and "Flash" *is* "an Active X Control". I don't exactly know what they mean semantically, but I do know that in practice it means that no Flash files or Flash Players are allowed on the Pentagon Network---period.


What I need (please!) is a concise but comprehensive explanation from someone from Macromedia of how Flash works with Active X control, and in what context it does so. (I would try to do so, but I'm afraid I'm just a lowly contractor in their eyes).


Also, if there is any possible security issues with Flash in general, or in conjunction with Active X control in any way (or not!), please address this

point.


I would be very thankful for any response.
