Re: FLASH: No Flash Player (Corporate Restrictions)

[Gregg Caines]

I think the actual stat for SOME flash content is 92%... I lost my link to

the stats page.  Regardless, you can be sure that Flash 4 content is

viewable in significantly fewer browsers than that and Flash 5 content

is probably viewable in less than 30% (that's a complete guess though I'd

be really surprised if the plug-in was even that widespread).  You'll

never be 100% accessible without a plain HTML site.
