Re: FLASH: Macromedia Codebase?

[John Dowdell]

... and to confirm and rephrase, it seems that your client is assuming that

the Flash ActiveX Control is downloaded with every viewing.


The CODEBASE attribute of the OBJECT tag instead just tells IE/Win how it

can get the Flash Player if it isn't already installed. As noted elsewhere

in the thread, this is a one-time cost, and is only incurred if that

browser brand, on that operating system, does not already have a Flash

ActiveX Control of the corresponding minimum #version.
