After searching in vain, I’m look for some help. I’m building a CD for distribution to a user base, and I need to check for the existence/version of the Flash player on their computer from the CD. The reason for this is that I have dozens of Flash-based tutorials that launch from the CD in a browser window, but I want to detect Flash from the moment they first start the CD. Is there a way to detect the Flash Player from a Projector? ---

I suspected as much… Packaging the tutorials (which were built using another program called Viewlet) in the Projector would present a host of new problems, unfortunately- including an excessively large executable. Thanks anyway, though!
