WebWord Weblog Posting Posting Date: June 16, 2002 WebWord Comment -- Am I the only person tired of seeing the Flash Player 6 download dialog box? I guess I'll just have to give in and install it.

Uh, just uninstall Flash entirely. Aside from games, I never encounter a site I need to use that has trapped essential information in Flash. Posted by: on June 16, 2002 04:29 PM
What is most troubling about that dialog box is that the authenticity is verified by VeriSign. Posted by: on June 17, 2002 12:30 AM
You're using IE/Win, right? The way they've implemented ActiveX Controls and the OBJECT tag, you'll see such an auto-installation request on any page with SWF content. Because lots of pages have SWF content, you'll get frequent auto-installation requests.... You can use a different browser which doesn't have such auto-installation, but most all of them include the Macromedia Flash Player now anyway. (For VeriSign, it makes perfect sense... they're certifying that the ActiveX Control is indeed coming from Macromedia.) Regards,
