With the old FSP there was a difference with the player you could embed and
the flashplayer.. but maybe not with zync anymore..
but the vb and fs script makes sense.. but is that from within Zinc itself?
because then you need to turn an swf into the exe.. that will execute the
script? then it's back to the first problem:)
Isn't it more handy to execute that vb/c++ script firsts.. that detects it
and that opens a zinc or sends you to the macromedia site?
.. also you could use a standard zync installer.. with the option to go to
macromedia.. but that's kinda lame :-D
Cheers,
Dennis

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.

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

He Lee,
I've seen it probably myself, but that would require
some ActionScript code to execute, so the Player 8 should
be present, right?

Doesn't Flash 8 now have a flash player check function in its api? I
recall seeing that somewhere.

Hello all,
This is probably very Zinc specific, but I'll give it a try, in case
someone
can suggest something useful. If it's too off-topic, my apologies in
advance.
I have an application made with Zinc, with the .exe not having the
Flash
OCX included.
So, in order for it to work, it has to rely on the installed Flash
player on the user's computer
(ActiveX, installation by Internet Explorer).
The question is how I can detect the Flash Player version the user has
installed, if any.
You see, the application needs Flash 8 in order to run, so if the user
has an older version
or no flash at all, I would like to take him to the macromedia website
to download.
It seems to me that I have to write a script in Zinc, to check for the
flash player version.
Is that so? Or it there anything else I can do?
Thanks!
Dimitrios Bendilas
