how to detect flash 6

[pilsjart]

I would like to detect if the user has a Flash 6. Right now I can detect Flash, but I cannot detect the version.

Does any of you have any ideas...


I posted the code I'm using at this moment. (sort of edited code supplied by DremWeaver)


function doYouHaveFlash(){
with (navigator) {
if (appName.indexOf('Microsoft')!=-1 && appVersion.indexOf('Mac')==-1){
document.write('<scr'+'ipt language="VBScript">\nOn error resume next\n'+
'haveFlash = NOT IsNull(CreateObject("ShockwaveFlash.ShockwaveFlash"))\n</scr'+'ipt>');
}

if (appName.indexOf('Microsoft')==-1 || (plugins && plugins.length)) {
window.haveFlash = (plugins && plugins['Shockwave Flash']);
}
}
}

....


doYouHaveFlash();
if(window.haveFlash)
blablabla
else
blabalbalalbalab



I would lik..

if(window.haveFlash6){
blablablablab
else
blablablabla


thank you

One of the best Flash detection scripts out there is from Colin Moock.

You can find it here.

Can VBScript be used to search the registry and return true or false values if a specific entry exists (for plugins)?
