Isn't this more an issue of Macromedia providing support than anything else? I'd be surprised if any major browser vendor would change their plugin API to be so incompatbile that it cut out Macromedia (and other 3rd parties).

IE already displays a somewhat scary message by default and refuses to run Flash until the user grants consent (in some configurations). --- In [email protected], Aldo Bucchi <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hi Guys, > > I don't want to start a polemic thread here.
