I need to be able to detect which version of Flash Player a
user has before they can proceed into this site I'm
developing. I've tried some ActionScripts, but the scripts
I've tried use syntax that is only supported by Flash 5.
So, I wouldn't be able to properly detect which Flash
Player someone has if they are using a version less than 5!!

What is the best way to detect the Flash Player version.
(I'm not limiting myself to ActionScripts, by the way)

Thanks...

It was so long ago since I did this that I can't remember...

But if you download the Flash Printing Resource Kit from the Macromedia webpage, there is a good explanation how to do this in the help files that comes with it.

Step 1: Inserat this into the head of a HTML document:
<meta http-equiv="Refresh" CONTENT="7; URL=noflash.html"> <-- Points to the "Sorry you don't have flash text"

Step 2: In the body of the HTML document, embed a flash file containing this actionscript code:
getURL("flash.html"); <-- Points to your flash page


That's it! No Javascript needed. If the embeded flash file does not redirect you to your actual page in 7 seconds your browser will redirect you to the nonflash page. Just make sure that all SWF files are saved in the same version!

In Flash MX (NOT MX 2004):
Under File>Publish Settings
Be sure the "HTML" check box is checked
Click the HTML tab
You can select to publish with detection for Flash 3-6

I assume MX 2004 must have equivalent capabilities
