O.P. Javascript (detect Flash)
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

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...
