installing/detecting flash player in Intranet

[mitcalcium]

Hi,

Probably a dumb and easy question but i'm developing an Intranet site and some pages include flash animations.

Most of the users accesing those pages don't have flash player installed and they may come from several locations around the country.

I hoped that there would be some way to detect if the client has the player installed and if not to download it. The problem is that this an Intranet without access to the Web. Can i keep the istallable files on my server.

Is there a way that the player would be automatically installed on the client without him having to anything manually ?

Thanks

you can donwload an offline installer from Macromedia whcih you could offer to your users but you can't replicate (easily) the online auto-install.
