Hi!
I’ve done a website with Flash 8, but when i try to visualize it in a computer that does not have flash player 8 installed, it simpy works too bad.
I am looking for something that can advise the visitor that he has to install flash player 8.
Very thanks
(sorry my english)
Alexandre

Hi Alexandre, this is exactly what you are looking for: [http://www.macromedia.com/devnet/flash/articles/fp8\_detection.html](http://www.macromedia.com/devnet/flash/articles/fp8_detection.html).
Apparently Flash 8 came out with the best version (to date) of a detection script. I use it on [Http://www.u2xs.com](Http://www.u2xs.com) If you have flash 8 it will play. If not, it will display text and an image telling you where to go.
