I’d like to make an html or php page that tests whether the browser is firefox or internet explorer and what version player it is running and does the following:
flash 9 on IE or Firefox
display movie in WMODE=transparent windowless
flash 8 on IE
display movie in WMODE=transparent windowless
flash 8 on FF
display movie in WMODE=window
I want to do this all on one page without redirects. Also, is there a way I can create a variable within the flash movie by putting some script on this html page that will always work? I do not want to have the flash movie call php scripts from within the movie.
Also, when I pop a flash movie into dreamweaver or publish, it seems that there ends up being a lot of useless crap code around the flash file. What do I need and what do I not need?
thanks
Jason
