RE: FLASH: non-js autodetect

[David Williamson]

I dont think its really a bug, just a design side effect. :�)


its more likley to be an issue with the Plugin/activeX control, bearing

in mind flash is still a proprietry technology, these are the avenues

through wich it "talks" to the browser. 


cheers dave
