Flash player detection

Hi,
Could you post a tutorial on how to code for Flash player detection in HTML. And if there is no player detected then to use the GIF file instead of SWF file.
thanQ

PS. I think your tutorials are really good.

Thats a complicated process. I think someone posted something about it in the Flash Actionscript Forum. Try checking in there, I believe there was a link to an explaination about the whole process.

dosent kirupa have a tutorial fo that

version = getVersion();
flash_ver = version.split(",");
ver = flash_ver[2];
if (ver > 29) {
gotoAndStop (3);
} else {
gotoAndStop (2);
}
stop ();

but ya i think that will work
