Hello,
Does anyone know how to detect whether a a user has a particular version of flash? i.e. the very latest flash 5 plugin?
For Netscape 4.7 my site doesn't work unless it has the latest flash plugin, so on some computers that have an older version of flash 5 installed it doesn't work.
I have searched through the boards and the movies but I can't seem to find that anyone else has addressed this problem.
Thanks

If you have the actual detection in the flash itself you could use something like this :-
Code:
version = getVersion();
flash_ver = version.split(",");
ver = flash_ver[2];
if (ver > 29) {
gotoAndPlay ("Flash 5");
} else {
gotoAndPlay ("Flash 4");
}
This will detect whether they have Flash 5 and if they do forward them to the "Flash 5" frame on the timeline. If they have Flash 4 or less then will be forwarded to the "Flash 4" frame which would have a message saying upgrade your flash player or words to that effect.
Hope this helps :)
