I forgot to mention that I've also tried the different _level* arguemnts too. _level0 actually breaks IE and still doesn't work in Netscape. > Alternately, you can avoid needing to load Flash at all - use JavaScript to > iterate over the plugins array on Netscape and use VBScript with an On Error > handler to instantiate the Flash ActiveX control - if it fails, your VBScript > can assume Flash isn't installed (which is the sane default).
