Get Link & Flash

It looks like you need to have flash installed to use a button in the "Get Link" page. Is that really the case? I may be missing something but I'm not sure what flash seems to add for this sort of thing?

Thanks

The browser by itself does not allow a script to copy data to the clipboard, so Smugmug uses flash for that purpose (to make the copy button work). Flash is required elsewhere in Smugmug for the full experience (particularly for slideshows) so this is not the first place it's encountered.

Thanks, I was just looking at it as a plain ol' click on link... makes sense now.
