Ok,
I need some javascript for a site which checks if the user has flash installed and if it is installed what version it is!
Can anyone do it please?
Cheers,
Nathan

code:

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="Javascript">
<!--

var flashinstalled = 0;
var flashversion = 0;
MSDetect = "false";
if (navigator.plugins && navigator.plugins.length)
{
    x = navigator.plugins["Shockwave Flash"];
    if
    {
        flashinstalled = 2;
        if (x.description)
        {
            y = x.description;
            flashversion = y.charAt(y.indexOf-1);
        }
    }
    else
        flashinstalled = 1;
    if (navigator.plugins["Shockwave Flash 2.0"])
    {
        flashinstalled = 2;
        flashversion = 2;
    }
}
else if (navigator.mimeTypes && navigator.mimeTypes.length)
{
    x = navigator.mimeTypes['application/x-shockwave-flash'];
    if (x && x.enabledPlugin)
        flashinstalled = 2;
    else
        flashinstalled = 1;
}
else
    MSDetect = "true";

// -->
</SCRIPT>

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="VBScript">

on error resume next

If MSDetect = "true" Then
    For i = 2 to 6
        If Not(IsObject(CreateObject("ShockwaveFlash.ShockwaveFlash." & i))) Then

        Else
            flashinstalled = 2
            flashversion = i
        End If
    Next
End If

If flashinstalled = 0 Then
    flashinstalled = 1
End If

</SCRIPT>

Erm, doesn't Flash have an option to check for certain versions when you publish the HTML file as well? Thats what I usually do...

Yeah it does, but maybe Nathan is doing something different. Somehow
