Hey guys. I'm a bit worried people are going to get asked to download a flash player before they can see my site's flash. Is there any other way so every browser can see it without having to download anything? Thank you.
you must have flash player installed to view flash content and i don't think you should worry about it as more than 90% of people have flashed installed
Yes, and those that don't have it won't be able to view it, so it is better you include an intro page asking your visitors to download flash before proceeding forth or the elementary technique of a non-flash version.
Surely there is another way?! Big corporate websites wouldn't ask people to download a flash player would they?
I think most of browser support javascript so browsing would be not problem especially if you use flash in limitation.
As it has been said already, pretty much everybody has the flash player. What you need to check for is if it is disabled, as some people disable flash on their browser. If flash is disabled, just display a fixed image instead, so there is always something showing. There is no way to make sure everyone will see your flash, you just need a backup in case the player is disabled.
