This is going to sound like a stupid question now, but I have an application which displays flash files (.swf) using the Shockwave Flash Object in VB.NET - however when other users are using my application do they have to have Adobe Flash Player or/and Adobe Shockwave Player installed on their computers before they can view the flash files / use my application?

Thank-You :-)

Check out swfobject on code.google

http://code.google.com/p/swfobject/[^]

This performs all the client side detection and gracefully handles when flash isn't available.

It's a nice easy to use script

Simply yes. Flash and Shockwave run client side and must therefore be installed on the client machine to work. They are very commonly accepted so most users will have this installed.

Good luck!
