:confused:Firstly a point of NOTE:
I'm not a full time web designer, so far I have been using info from the net to put together an online flash brochure for my company.

The question I wish to pose is this..

If a customer were to hit my page:
www.tees.me.uk/Book (test site)
and they did not have the required flash player (8) it shows them a placeholder page advising them to click on the link to upgrade to the latest flash player.
(i've used swfobject_2_0 to recognise which player the users have and to embed the flash)

If the user were to click onto the 'get flash player' icon it re-directs them to the adobe flash player install screen where they would proceed to install the player.

However at the end of that process it leaves them on the flash page.
Other than them knowing to press the 'back' on the browser can there not be some sort of script that re-directs them back to my site once the flash upgrade has finished??

The reason being is that I wish to track the success of this online brochure by placing it as a google advert and then track how many responses come in from the contact form at the back of the page.

However if customers never find their way back to the site then it will be somewhat of a waste of money to place it as a google advert?

P.S.
Please can people give me some feedback on my site too. I'd love to here if I've made any howling mistakes as I'm pretty new to all of this.

Cheers

Adam

Look up swfObject on Goolgle. You should find deconcep(.com?) and his script, when using expressinstall, will redirect you to adobe, install flash, and push you back to the original page. you might find when you need in his code.
