Flash player for Flash 8

[creativkook]

I created a website in Flash 8, but for some reason if the viewer does not have the most recent flash player installed, it does not tell them to download it. In fact, it remains static, not working at all. Is there some way in the Flash code to notify the user that they need to install the newest player?

If you need it, the site is www.digitalhomepc.com

in index_body.html you need to change:
codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,29,0"
to
codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=8,0,22,0"

But this will only work for IE on a windows plattform..

Macromedia provides some "Flash detection kits" ..
Search their site for it

This is how I did my player detection for my flash 8 site, and it seems to be flawless, and covers many scenarios, although you may have to do something soon to detect for player 8.5. This accounts for Firefox, IE, Mac, PC, etc.

It was easy to follow and now it takes me no time at all to implement on to other sites, now that I've done it the first time.

Hope this helps everyone that needs to detect for the Flash 8 Player.

thats great,,, but the problem is that when it has the right version flash, it writes the script for the movie to show,,, how do u make it write the full HTML design including the script of the movie in that html,,,,? for example,, I have my flash movie inside a cell inside a table in the center of the page and have css styles applied to all of it ...
