Detection....an old question

programming flash
1

Ey there guys,

I ran into an old post on detecting flash

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=JavaScript1.1>
<!--
var MM_contentVersion = 6;
var plugin = (navigator.mimeTypes && navigator.mimeTypes["application/x-shockwave-flash"]) ? navigator.mimeTypes["application/x-shockwave-flash"].enabledPlugin : 0;
if ( plugin ) {
  var words = navigator.plugins["Shockwave Flash"].description.split(" ");
     for (var i = 0; i < words.length; ++i)
     {
  if (isNaN(parseInt(words*)))
  continue;
  var MM_PluginVersion = words*; 
     }
 var MM_FlashCanPlay = MM_PluginVersion >= MM_contentVersion;
}
else if (navigator.userAgent && navigator.userAgent.indexOf("MSIE")>=0 
   && (navigator.appVersion.indexOf("Win") != -1)) {
 document.write('<SCR' + 'IPT LANGUAGE=VBScript\> 
'); //FS hide this from IE4.5 Mac by splitting the tag
 document.write('on error resume next 
');
 document.write('MM_FlashCanPlay = ( IsObject(CreateObject("ShockwaveFlash.ShockwaveFlash." & MM_contentVersion)))
');
 document.write('</SCR' + 'IPT\> 
');
}
if ( MM_FlashCanPlay ) {
 window.location.replace("http://www.kirupa.com/flash.htm");
} else{
 window.location.replace("http://www.kirupa.com/noflash.htm");
}
//-->
</SCRIPT>

Jscript isn’t my thing yet.
But as I read the this script detects the version and sends you to the flashpage or sends you to a non-flash page.

Am I correct if I thought to have read that the script detects version 6?


var MM_contentVersion = 6;

Or does it detect six or lower?
Is it possible for the script to detect 9 and lower?

Based on this script is it possible for the script to load a swf into a DIV (if detected) and otherwise to load an image into the same DIV.


if ( MM_FlashCanPlay ) {
 window.location.replace("http://www.kirupa.com/flash.htm");
[COLOR=red]//and then load SWF into DIV[/COLOR]
} else{
 window.location.replace("http://www.kirupa.com/noflash.htm");
[COLOR=red]//or load img into DIV on the same page instead of going to another page[/COLOR]
}

I know this is a lot though I feel it is possible yet have no idea on how I should accomplish this feat.
Any help would be highly appreciated.

Kindest regards,
