The simple solution is to make a small movie, with get url (to the main
movie url) , and export it in player 8.
This will detect if the viewer has flash 8 player (or not).
How ever the main problem is that most people simply don't have it (yet?),
Which detection will not solve.

codewheninstalled player is either 6.0.22, 6.0.23 and 6.0.29 ?
i just had a client refuse content in 8, because of their security settings
rendering the nice smooth express install i had set up useless.
they got the noscript instead.
so now i'm redoing everything for player 6 (pain the the you know what)....
:(

Hi,
I'm having a serious detection issue with macromedias own flash detection
code which you all probably know can be auto generated along with the html
file under publish settings in the Flash8 editor or can be found in their
detection kit which contains it as well.
The problem is related to the activeX plugin detection more precisely inside
the VBScript function below. When the shockwave object is created it asks
for the version string:
swVersion = swControl.GetVariable("$version")
and if any of the plugins above is installed it crashes with an error
message saying an error happened in Flash player 6.0.xx.ocx. and the browser
window shuts down. No errors with plugins lower or higher than that.
Has anyone seen this before and knows what to do? Since I'm not the great
VBScript shark I'm pretty stuck here and just detecting the clean version
number is not enough when you need 6.0.65 to use the new auto install
procesdure.
<!-- // Visual basic helper required to detect Flash Player ActiveX control
version information Function VBGetSwfVer(i)
on error resume next
Dim swControl, swVersion
swVersion = 0
set swControl = CreateObject("ShockwaveFlash.ShockwaveFlash." +
CStr(i))
if (IsObject(swControl)) then
swVersion = swControl.GetVariable("$version") //Here it crashes
end If
VBGetSwfVer = swVersion
End Function
