Use flash player 6 .. it's what mainstream news sites etc use.

Thanks for the info :)

a very low percent

I just found out they buit it with Flash 8, so does that means less people can view than if they built it with Flash 6 ? Will Flash 8 catch up after some time?

If you look at what type of surfers dont have a semi-up to date flash installed on their PC....it becomes almost a mute point.

Some kid on a university PC can't view flash because the network admin hasn't allowed an upgrade yet...that's called traffic filtering in my book :1orglaugh :thumbsup

So if most of my site is general jpgs and Gifs and just part is Flash it will be ok I imagine.
