function detectIE(ClassID,name) { result = false; document.write('<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=VBScript>\n on error resume next \n result = IsObject(CreateObject("' + ClassID + '"))</SCRIPT>\n'); if (result) return name+','; else return ''; }

I got this from Flash MX, and modified it. With this, you can check not only for Flash, but for specific Flash versions, 3.0-9.0. I know 7, 8, and 9 aren't out yet, but assuming they follow the same information, this will pick them up with no updating.

You'd use it like this...

if (plugin.flash6up)
{
// Do this Flash 6 thing, that works in 6, 7, 8, or 9
}
else if (plugin.flash5up)
{
// Do this Flash 5 thing that works in 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9
}
else if (plugin.flash4)
{
// This will only work in Flash 4.0 -- that's it.
}
else document.write(plugin.flashversion); // This will write out the version of the Flash plugin installed.
