q: sites with flash

Hello,
Our web site is developed by someone else and I see they used macromedia
flash player. Now sometimes on some computers the text in the flash do not
show up, and sometime it asks to download macromedia flash and it starts
showing the text. How does everyone else handle flash in their web sites, is
there any way we can force to download flash at the background?
Thanks,

No. As a security feature this has to be something that is allowed by the
user so that the browser doesn't install mallicious plug-ins. Part of the
problem is the developer who made the Flash created it for the most current
Flash player, not thinking that not all users have this player (or actually
just didn't think about the compatibility issue at all). It's possible that
targetting a Flash 6 or 7 format would alleviate many problems as almost 99%
of all Internet users have Flash installed already, they just might not have
the correct version.

Hope this helps,

Hi Mark,
Thanks for the reply. My main problem, in some computer it does not ask to
download the flash, is there anything I can do in the code so that it will at
least ask users to download?

I've seen a few attractive multi-column sites whose geometry is based on pure CSS-P, but they're what you might call "code afficionado" sites, where the subject matter of the site is "coding practices." (One example of this is alistapart.com.) However, the project/development realities for small boutique sites are completely different from those of large commercial or institutional sites -- and I was curious to see what coding approaches...

Hey guys, I'm new here. Sorry if this is not the correct forum for my question. I run a blog that gets a lot of comments from people. But often I have a problem with spammers that post images from those 3 sites I wish to block. Is there a script I can use in the html that will block images/flash from certain domains. Thanks a lot for any reply :)

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers. The idea...
