    Hello, seem to have a problem with browsers detecting the flash 6 player, have used a sniffer tag which should take users to a non flash html page if they do not have flash 6 player, this
    isn't working as users might have flash 5 player and my movie is still trying to open in the flash 5 player. Can I add some code to my movie so that it only opens if it detects the flash 6
    player??

    Can somebody give me some feedback??

    Thanks

    Beware of the different solutions that you may try as it seems that no solution will work for all browsers.

    On the other hand, providing the user with a splash page to let them know that they need the Flash 6 Player may be the only 100% way to ensure that they have the player.

    I have had really good results with the Flash Deployment Kit from the Macromedia website.
