As you all know, when you insert the code for
a flash movie, IE automatically downloads
Flash player if the visitor doesn't have it installed,
or if he has a version earlier than the one written
in the codebase atribute.
How can I avoid automatic downloading of the flash player?
Is it enough to delete the OBJECT tag, that is, instead
of:
I tried it on a few computers and it worked just fine.
What is your experience? Is this enough or is there
some other approach for avoiding automatic download?
Remove:
Plugins page '/getflashplayer ie. this tells it to get flash player =))
I don't think that is the solution, because that part of code, with the EMBED tag is for Netscape only. The OBJECT part of the code is for IE. I know that on some computers omitting the OBJECT tag stops IE from automatically downloading the Flash player, but I don't know if it is a universal solution, that is, if it works on all computers, in all versions of IE.
