Should I publish to Flash Player 6 or 7? 2004-03-10 - By Jesse Warden
Back Additionally, you can always uninstall the Flash 6 Player, and then go to Macromedia's site, and see how fun it is to install it yourself.

Thanks for the comments, guys.
I still have one question in my head. I understand that if I'm using Flash MX 2004 I can easily publish with Flash Player version detection and automatic redirect or whatever. But my question is, how easy (and how automatic) is the whole process for the user? (And by whole process, I mean the whole process of actually getting my Flash 7 app loaded and working in their browser.)
For example, if the user has Flash Player 6, and he goes to the URL of my Flash Player 7 app, exactly what will happen? Will it all be automated, will it be fast, and will my app automatically load for him immediately after his player has been updated? (I understand the user will at least have to grant permission for the upgrade, and that is fine -- but if there are any other steps, or if it's a big download, that's not so good. Or even if it's quick and easy, but the user is left at the Macromedia site, well that's not too cool.)
(To answer an earlier question, my audience is a general audience, not techies.)
Perhaps I should find a computer with Flash Player 6 and find out for myself.
Thanks again
Ed
