uhh, SWFObject requires you specify a version, but it's a *minimum* version...

so if you publised your movie as flash 7 content, you say 'this requires flash player 7', and swfobject takes that as '7 or higher'.

so you don't have to update anything.

Yes, but I don't want my scripts to HAVE version detection for the users
who do have the Flash player, because we always know what to build for
and what version the user will have.  Since the detection script gets
copied all over the place, I don't want to update those scripts to
account for newer Flash players when we push out newer versions.

Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] Simple Flash player detection without
versioning?

if they dont have flash player, then they won't have the required
version
number anyway, so wouldn't the version detection scripts still work?

Might be a dumb and simple answer, but is there any way to simply
detect
the presence of the Flash player in IE WITHOUT also checking for a
specific version number (IE detection only is required, not other
browsers)? The Javascript detection scripts I've seen always check
for
say Flash 7 or 8, but not for just Flash.

Reason is: In our case, all of our user base either has the Flash
player
installed of a specific common version enterprise wide, or not at
all.
I'd like a script that does not check for versions, or multiple
versions, so we don't have to update the detection script when the
enterprise pushes out a new player version to the user base.  Our
detection scripts in HTML files get pushed out and copied several
times
over to different web sites, so I don't want to have to update all
of
those later when new version of Flash get pushed out.

It's probably quite simple with Javascript, I just don't have much
time
to research it today. Thanks!
