I have created a series of Flash presentations for distribution on a CD-rom. We have been using this presentation to mail to clients, and only about 1% of the time found someone who did not have the correct Flash Player. (100% PC client base, no macs) I recently upgraded to Flash MX and am concerned that not very many people have the Flash 6 player installed on their PC.

When publishing from MX, I tried publishing with the Flash 5 player selection, but the .exe still requires Flash 6? Has anyone else had this problem?

I thought about making an HTML page that checks for the player, but many of our clients are in a corporate enviornment where they do not have internet access, or are not allowed to install anything.

Even if they don't have internet access, can you still run an html page off of a cd? If they don't have the player, I can't really send them out to macromedia.com because 75% won't have internet access.

Or even better would be if you could have the flash 6 player on the cd and the exe could run the player off the CD and not need to install or download anything!

If I can't find a better solution, my guess for a solution is to create a html page with the flash player detection kit that macromedia has... put the flash player installers on the cd. I will just need to work out a way for them to get back to the demo after the player has installed.

If anyone has some recommendations of possible solutions, I would appreciate it.

Thanks!
