Preventing browsers to play new ver. SWF's in old players

Hi

Several times I was exposed to a problem where my content (made in Flash 8) was displayed wrong on some computers with older Flash players. Some objects are missing, etc.

How can I prevent browsers to play my content, unless a user has an up-to-date-version of Flash Player? It can either refuse to play it and say “press here to download newest Flash Player” or it can install the newest Flash Player automaticly (if it is possible).

Is there a code that solves my problem

Best Regards

Sorry guys for late responce. Thank you for your answers - I will look into it.

hey there if you check your flash help files there is code words for finding the users flash plugin version and you could just put that into an if statement that makes it play a sorry get updated screen. :smiley:
