I am finishing a projector file that I have been creating and was trying to figure out if there was a way to have the .swf file auto detect and then auto install the flash 6 player. Thanks!

I don’t think it can be done like that cuz If there is no Flash player then the .swf won’t run and the actionscript won’t be triggered but it can be done by javascript… I think… 🙂
