i think your solution to the class export issue is fine.
You shouldn't need to unload the updater movie..
once the update is done, you have to either quit the browser or close
the window anyway, or if they cancel the upgrade, they wouldn't have a
new enough flash player to see your content anyway.

Another thing I must to do in order to remove a strange TextField that
appears above all other objects in my application is the following:
updater.unloadMovie();
you can write this line in a frame after the first.

Hi list,
I'm looking to use the ExpressInstall feature with Geoff's FlashObject
in a fla that preload content and is set to export classes in frame 5.
As Geoff explain, you must to use the ExpressInstall class and insert
a little snippet in frame 1, but in my case I can't use classes before
frame 5.
I want to ask you if you know an alternative form or some easy
workaround for this.
btw, I convert the class to a script and it's working for me, but I
want to know is there some easy way.
Here is my solution (a conversion of the Geoff's class):
Put the following script in frame one and let your classes to export
in another frame than one:
-------------------------------------
stop();
if (_root.MMplayerType == undefined) {
gotoAndPlay(2);
}
var updater:MovieClip;
var hold:MovieClip;
loadUpdater = function() {
System.security.allowDomain("fpdownload.macromedia.com");
updater = _root.createEmptyMovieClip("expressInstallHolder", 10000000);
updater.installStatus = installStatus;
hold = updater.createEmptyMovieClip("hold", 1);
updater.onEnterFrame = function() {
if (typeof hold.startUpdate == 'function') {
loadInit();
delete this.onEnterFrame;
}
}
var cacheBuster = Math.random();
hold.loadMovie("http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/update/current/swf/autoUpdater.swf?"+
cacheBuster);
}
loadInit = function() {
hold.redirectURL = _root.MMredirectURL;
hold.MMplayerType = _root.MMplayerType;
hold.MMdoctitle = _root.MMdoctitle;
hold.startUpdate();
}
installStatus = function(statusValue) {
if (statusValue == "Download.Complete") {
// Installation is complete. In most cases the browser window
that this SWF
// is hosted in will be closed by the installer or manually by
the end user
} else if (statusValue == "Download.Cancelled") {
// The end user chose "NO" when prompted to install the new
player
// by default no User Interface is presented in this case. It is
left up to
// the developer to provide an alternate experience in this case
// feel free to change this to whatever you want, js errors are
sufficient for this example
getURL("javascript:alert('This content requires a more recent
version of the Macromedia Flash Player.')");
} else if (statusValue == "Download.Failed") {
// The end user failed to download the installer due to a
network failure
// by default no User Interface is presented in this case. It is
left up to
// the developer to provide an alternate experience in this case
// feel free to change this to whatever you want, js errors are
sufficient for this example
getURL("javascript:alert('There was an error in downloading the
Flash Player update. Please try again later, or visit macrmedia.com to
download the latest version of the Flash plugin.')");
}
}
loadUpdater();
--------------------------------------------
If you know some other way, I'll like to hear about it
Best,
