There is a tag in the Allaire Tag gallery called cf_flash that does the
detection work for you.

Subject: Re: Flash/coldfusion question
Hello,
Does anyone have example code that does the following:
<IF FLASH PLUGIN IS DETECTED>
Play flash
<ELSE>
Display an Image
I know this will probably have to be JavaScript, but do people think it's a
good idea for the result of the JavaScript to be sent back to Coldfusion to
be added to a session variable?
<cfif NOT CompareNoCase(session.flash, "Yes")>
<cfmodule template="dsp_flash.cfm" movie="hello">
<cfelse>
<cfmodule template="dsp_AltFlashImage.cfm" image="hello">
</cfif>
Thanks,
Andrew
