Hi guys,

I’ve made a site using Flash 8 and I’ve had people come to me saying that they can’t see the text which is ‘bitmap text (no anti-alias)’.

They can see the rest of the site, just not the text with those properties.

Does anyone know how I can get round this? From what I’ve gathered, it’s because they don’t have the latest Flash Player plugin. If this is the case, what is the best thing to do? - would a Flash Player 8 detection page do the trick, that re-directs to a page saying ‘You need the latest version of Flash Player. Click here to download it…’?

Thank you very much and I hope to hear from you.

All the best,

Mark
