Not sure what your question is.........

"I am looking to solve the activeX issue without having to access a server"

You mean display an Easypano Flash file locally on your computer ? or are you talking about the EOLAS patent issue for assuring you have the most current version of Adobe Flash (now ver 10) on their machine.

MS bought a license from EOLAS and MS Vista SP1  IE 7 now calls Adobe Flash download page directly without having to use the .. javascript.  Issue resolved.

Do not want to view your local Flash content using a browser plug in?  Download the Stand Alone version of Flash Viewer 10.

---------- Adobe FLASH Viewer Resources PC/Mac versions available.
