Technical Help
Flash Plug-in Help — Windows OS


Macromedia Flash Plug-In
The flash plug-in is a free application that allows Internet Explorer and Netscape to play rich Internet content like motion graphics, video and sound. To use many of the computer-based activities on the Web site, you will need the Flash 5 (or higher) plug-in.

What version of the Flash plug-in do I have, if any?


I need to update to or install the latest version of the Flash plug-in. How do I do that?
The Flash plug-in is available for free from the Macromedia Web site. Click on the link below to go to the download page.

Visit the Flash plug-in download page at Macromedia Web site.

Helpful hint #1: Once on the Macromedia site, the easy, 3-step instructions for download and installation are found after the "Get Macromedia Flash 6" box. Please scroll down on the Macromedia page to find these instructions.

Helpful hint #2: When installing the Flash plug-in, you will be asked to select which browser you would like to install the plug-in for. If you use both Netscape and Internet Explorer, you can run the installer a second time to install for the second browser.
