Easy way to stop Flash 5 player running MX SWFs?
Yes, I want to stop Flash 5 player running version 6 SWFs; I thought if you compressed them they'd be unplayable but no.
Why? There are tons of pages I have to sort out where to check player they've put a little version 6 swf which takes you on to the desired URL and if it doesn't kick in, HTML sends you to the player download site.
They thought Flash 5 wouldn't play them, and neither did I.
These little forwarding movies need to be small and simple (so the clients can make them in future, choose the URL themselves).
Any help appreciated.

What if you slap a component off stage in the movie?
Or what's the cab version in the embed tags of the html you're using to display these check movies?

Cab version is 6,0,0,0 or 6,0,29,0 , it makes no difference, Flash 5 can still play them.
Adding a component may work, but there's a get command that can ask what version of the player is running, although I've never used it...

this might work..
I'm not sure if it'll work but it should ..all you got to do is use getVersion()
like this:
ad this on the first and
ver = getVersion(); // gets version
thespace = ver.indexOf(" "); // looks for the first space in the variable ver
thevesionNum = ver.substr(thespace+1, 1); // checks to see the caracter after the space ... the main version
if (thevesionNum>=6) { // if it larger or equal to 6
gotoAndPlay("hasPlayer");
} else { //if not
stop();
}
here you go

Thanks, that works.
Turns out the clients PCs had been in Internet cafes, so installation on demand of anything was blocked. So player 6 couldn't be installed.
