SUMMARY

When you right-click a flag in a Facts and Figures article in Encarta Virtual Globe 99, and then click About Shockwave Flash 3.0, you may be connected directly to the Macromedia Web site on the Internet.

The Connect To The Web dialog box warning you that Internet content is outside of the Encarta Virtual Globe product and not under the control of Microsoft is not displayed on the screen.

MORE INFORMATION

The flags in Facts and Figures articles in Encarta Virtual Globe 99 are Macromedia Shockwave objects.

The About Shockwave Flash 3.0 command on the shortcut menu links you directly to the Macromedia Web site. This command bypasses the Encarta Virtual Globe warning message that informs you that you are about to leave Encarta Virtual Globe and go to the World Wide Web.

If you are already connected to the Internet, no warning message is displayed on the screen. If you are not connected to the Internet, you may be prompted to connect by your Internet service provider.
