Try replying with a request for the funds to buy the software you would need to develop Flash pages then point out you wouldn't need to spend their money if you could install Java.
Is there a list of schools using Jmol on the wiki? Would help to show that many schools do this so not "everyone" is using Flash, certainly not exclusively, and plenty of people find Java to be sufficiently safe and not outmoded. *********************************************** Jeff Hansen Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry DePauw University 602 S.
