Preloader detecting Flash Player version: no joy!

programming flash
1

Hi everyone,

I am trying to build a preloader that detects the user’s Flash Player version, and then loads the matching content: if the user has Flash Player 11, Stage3D content should be loaded.

The problem I’m running into is that a preloader that is compiled for Flash Player 10 can’t display Flash Player 11 content, even if it is running in Flash Player 11.

Is this true? Are there solutions other than detecting the player version in JavaScript?

Thanks in advance,
