Identify Internet Bandwidth

programming flash
1

Hi All,

I am developing a Flash application which should initially (before launching the main application) identify the internet bandwidth available on users system and display low or high bandwidth content accordingly.

If the user has dialup concetion then I need to display only images else if it is broadband concetion then I need to display swf’s along with the audio.

Is there a way to find the bandwidth beforehand?

Please Help

You could try to load first a 50k picture using moviecliploader class, calculate kbps and then act accordingly.
