Hi,
Would like to know whether is that any javascript available to detect the version og flash player the user is having.
For example,
if version <= 4;
prompt user to update
else
continue displaying the flash movie.
Thanx
yeah theres the flash deployment kit if you use dreamweaver wich is a veryy good and important tool and theres also the flash detection script here in the tutorials section
get the flash deployment kit here http://www.macromedia.com/software/flash/download/deployment_kit/ and the tutorial you can find it here
the tutorial can be found here http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/detection.htm

Would like to know how can i detect the version of the flash player the user has installed?
The tutorials provided in kirupa has enable me to check whether has the user installed Flash, if yes, display the flash animation else, it will display an animated gift. So far till this point, this can be done.
So now i would like to move on to checking the flash player version if flash has been detected.
If it is Flash 4 and below, i would prompt the user whether he would like to upgrade to the latest version. If yes, installation will run on the background and display my flash movie. How do i go abt in doing this?
Thanx alot!
ir youre using the macromedia deployment kit it allows you to choose which version is needed to view your website if its not detected it directs the user to a webpage your create that lets them choose if they want to install the flash player or not i suggest you do it this way because i dont think anyone would like to install something without their permission so just make something like this

u are refering to the dispatcher?
Have tried using that … but dun think it is working over my side?
Is there any script i can add on in the existing script which http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/detection.htm has provided, to check for version of flash player and do an auto installation?
Really thanx alot!
