do you want to install and run "macromedia flash player 7?..."

losing the install flash player request.

does anybody know of a way to disable the 'do you want to install and run "macromedia flash player..."' dialog box which appears when people visit a flash site?

looking through the threads i notice something of a very similar nature was discussed before without any conclusion.

i've decided disabling this feature would enhance navigation of my site as i've built a navigation bar in flash and in html/javascript. but every time someone visits my homepage they get 'do you want to install....'

i think you have 2 chocies:
1) lose the flash ;)
2) export from flash as version 6 or version 5 - these are more commonly installed, so less people will have to upgrade the player to view. you may have to make changes to your script though.
