FlashMX itself can generate pretty sophisticated JavaScript in the html of the enclosing page. Maybe the code could be modified to toss up a JavaScript alert telling them to look for the plugin installer on the CD? You'd have to be better at JavaScript than I am to do this, but it seems like it could be done. Emps: [quote]if you are going to use HTML as an interface then let me know and I'll move this to the JavaScript forum but I suppose if you are using just Flash then that could be problematic[/quote] I have to assume from the question that HTML is the interface. If you compile a free standing, all-Flash application (which is called a "projector" in Macromedia-talk) you don't have any worries - the player is compiled into it.
