You can always publish your stuff as a Flash projector instead of an
SWF file as long as you're not trying to deliver the content through a
web page. Macromedia Flash projectors will run without admin rights as
the player is IN the projector, so there's nothing to install.

The problem with publishing my stuff as a Projector file is that the email
system is set up to filter exe's. The network admins won't lift the filter on
exe?s because of fear of viruses.
What I want to be able to do is create material in Flash then ideally embed
the material in a web page. Which is what I?ve been doing but people without
Flash player installed can?t access it.

Remotely installing flash player does seem the way to go, but the Network
admin?s aren?t sure how to do it!!

It?s just annoying; you spend time creating multimedia only for it to be
inaccessible!
:confused;

What if you signed the EXE files? That would allow the email scanner
to verify that the EXE was okay. You could also make signed EXE files
available for download via the internet/intranet so people can see the
publisher and know the EXE is safe.

We use Microsoft SMS for software deployment. Flash player beeing one of those
softwares deployed. I'm sure there are other deployment solutions besides this
one.

Personally I would prefer to deploy the player himself instead of creating
projectors since sooner or later the client will need the player to view some
flash content on the web.

This problem is entirely internal to your company. If you are expected to
produce flash content, but the machines don't have the player, you need to talk
to your superiors about getting it installed on all the computers. It's ITs
problem to figure out how...they can walk around to each machine if they have
to.
