I am working on a site in Flash 8. During testing I have noticed if a user have Flash 7 Player installed they can still see my site but it is all messed up. On my splash page I do inform the user they need 8 but most will probably have no idea what they have. So I want my swf to determine if they have the right version of the player. If they do have 8 it will play as planned, if not it will go to a certain frame that tells them they need to upgrade. Is this possible? and if so how.

Thanks
