If he wanted to do that, he'd embed the player. ;-) Anyway, there is a better option if that route is preferred; FSP / Zinc can also execute vb and fs scripts, and there are plenty of those for Flash detection available.

Flash Version detection Hey Guys, I remember from the FSP time that it could also read/write DLL's.. Sure Macromedia put's something somewhere in the register that is usable? Get's back to the point though that you need a flash player to play the zync that check's that.. You could always use a small flash exe that does the check, the .exe always contains the player itself, .. and then either start the zync exe or go to macromedia. Hope that makes any sence;) With kind regards, Dennis ----- Original Message ----- From: "Lee McColl-Sylvester" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Flashcoders mailing list" <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, May 08, 2006 12:25 PM Subject: RE: [FlashCoders] Tricky(?)
