flash data integration:
I just built a new site and it is in flash8. I thought I built the
tester right, but just had someone in Nicaragua look at it and see
nothing. He looked at some other projects of mine with flash in them and
had no problem. Did I do it wrong? Why could that happen?

Here is the site I am talking about:
http://www.agilitygraphics.com

Thank you for any help!

The detection script is missing something. You have:

if (hasRightVersion) {
// blah blah
}

if should be

if (hasRightVersion) {
// time to celebrate
} else {
// damn...better install it
}

You don't have your script handling the case when the user doesn't have the
right version. Search google for the Macromedia Deployment kit. If scripts you
can use to actually automatically install the latest version of the Flash
Player if the user doesn't have it. It's quite handy.
