What Matt said. In short, the Flash Player *can* be in the form of an

ActiveX Control, but it's also frequently a Netscape Plugin instead. (The

ActiveX form is really only if you're using the IE/Win browser.)


They may wish to remember that for intranet use they can license this

Player for internal distribution... there's no scenario here where it would

be necessary to install ActiveX Controls over that scary internet thing....
