I have seen popup blocker detection script in Javascript that will alert folks that a window did not launch due to a pop-up blocker. What I was wondering is, is it possible to detect that within flash and play a movie if a popup blocker is enabled? I need to forewarn folks that certain areas of this flash site require popups and that they have them blocked currently.
