    How many % are Flash Enabled?

    I want to put some Flash into my site, do I need to worry about big amount of people who will not come insite my site?

    Do you count your visitors somehow to know how many of them are using FLASH?

    Thanks in advance... ;)

    I believe about 95% have the flash plugin installed.

      I hate flash because of stupit advertising, floating around, filling 80% of screen on some web pages (without option to close within first xx seconbds). Worse than popups !
      I would uninstall flash off my computer, If I would know how
      I Installed it because It was crazy to click every time that I don;t want to download macromedia flash every time I entered flash site.
      This is very stupid in IE it doesn;t give option to ignore flash forever.

        Just checked one of my sites: 94.7% of 748164 visitors had flash installed.

          I think something like 90% or higher. A few years ago it was 86%.

              these are pretty high numbers...do you know whether they had the latest version of flash or had to upgrade i.e. had they seen this annoying flash install window?

                Check here

                http://www.macromedia.com/software/p...s/flashplayer/

                According to Macromedia it's %97... But I wouldn't worry about that percentage, I would worry about the version percentage...

                http://www.macromedia.com/software/p...netration.html

                Target Flash player version 4 (if you don't need the specific features of the later versions) you'll be fine...

                Once I did a site with full flash splash & tour pages, and it's converting very good!

                I hope that helps..

                  Flash is horrid... give me plain text which actually communicates something meaningful any day.
