This site uses the Macromedia Flash™ ‘plug-in.’ (The site will function without it, but some features will be missing – click here for the non-Flash version).
Plug-ins are used by website designers to add functionality to the basic web browser software on your computer. You may have heard of some of these, such as Real Player™ or Quicktime™ (both of which are used for video) or Flash (used to add animation/inter-activity).
Plug-ins are free, you just have to download and install them, and step-by-step instructions are normally provided.
Flash is the most widely used plug-in on the web, and is now used by an estimated 95% plus of web users. One of the reasons it’s so popular is that it’s very quick and easy to get and install, taking literally only a couple of minutes (and no, they’re not paying us a commission).
Flash is automatically installed by all current versions of Netscape and Microsoft Internet Explorer, if you have an older browser you may need to download the plug-in.
Anyway, if you’d like to see (and hear) the Flash content, click on the icon (left) and you’ll be taken to the Macromedia website. Installation is really easy, honest, just follow the simple instructions.
