Flash :: Detect For Flash Problem

Flash Detect
HI!
I have a flash animation running in the top section of my homepage. If the user doesn't have the flash 5 player installed, i would like him to see a gif image instead of the flash animation.

1- what is the script that needs to be put for both IE and NS , in order for him to see the gif image instead

2- how do i test the script to see if it is well functionning when I have on my PC the flash player plugin !?! (this is a funny situation, but i should be able to test it, right?!)
The question goes mainly for NS 6
Thanks for ur reply

Flash Detect For MX?
I just downloaded this Flash Detect Kit off of the Macromedia site.
It's about 20 files and pages of instruction.
I'm sifting through it and had the thought that perhaps some of my brilliant flashkit associates might know of other tutorials or source files on the subject.

Here's what I'm using:

Can Flash Detect PHP?
Is there a way within actionscript to figure out if it can use PHP or not? So if a user installs this on a webserver, for my Flash program to detect whether this server/computer is setup to handle PHP. I was thinking during setup that a certain var in my XML file be set, saying whether or not that it is. I just want to make sure there is no programmable way to detect this.

Any help appreciated,

Flash Detect
When I tried to add the Flash Detection script from this page: http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/detection.htm (the first one)

I uploaded it, it detects it at seems to load to the flash version of the site but the loading bar starts going crazy, the page stops responding and I have to shut it down with Task Manager. So im assuming there's somethign wrong with the javascript, but I dont know what...

any ideas?

this is what my code looks like:

Quote:

var MM_contentVersion = 6;
var plugin = (navigator.mimeTypes && navigator.mimeTypes["application/x-shockwave-flash"]) ? navigator.mimeTypes["application/x-shockwave-flash"].enabledPlugin : 0;
if ( plugin ) {
var words = navigator.plugins["Shockwave Flash"].description.split(" ");
for (var i = 0; i < words.length; ++i)
{
if (isNaN(parseInt(words[i])))
continue;
var MM_PluginVersion = words[i];
}
var MM_FlashCanPlay = MM_PluginVersion >= MM_contentVersion;
}
else if (navigator.userAgent && navigator.userAgent.indexOf("MSIE")>=0
&& (navigator.appVersion.indexOf("Win") != -1)) {
document.write('<SCR' + 'IPT LANGUAGE=VBScript>
'); //FS hide this from IE4.5 Mac by splitting the tag
document.write('on error resume next
');
document.write('MM_FlashCanPlay = ( IsObject(CreateObject("ShockwaveFlash.ShockwaveFla sh." & MM_contentVersion)))
');
document.write('</SCR' + 'IPT>
');
}
if ( MM_FlashCanPlay ) {
window.location.replace("http://www.thenutcompany.ie/indexf.html");
} else{
window.location.replace("http://www.thenutcompany.ie/index.html");
}

Should I Detect Flash 6
If I am using action scripts which are only available in Flash 6, is it worth detecting the Flash Player version at the begining of the program.

If someone attempts to use my movie but has Flash 5 Player and not 6, will the program just stop, or will there be some indication to the user that they have the wrong player.

Collision Detect With Flash MX
Good Flash Folk

I have had a look at the tutorial, and done the example they have regarding collision detection. (Dragging the car into an area, and having a dynamic text field return true or false)

Here's the thing...I want to be able to do 2 things, firstly...
When dragging the car into the designated area, the car should "snap" into the square.

Based on the name of the instance that is dragged into the area, it should play a particular movie. (like the "WORK" section of http://www.wmteam.de).

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Thanx

Detect Flash Version
When I go to the Publish Setting in Flash MX there is the Option to DetectVersion6 in the HTML tab. How do I get t his to work when I publish my movie with this setting flash tells me:

"The HTML template for this document contains a tag which requires additional formats to be selected and published. Publish will proceed without creating this file. Publish will write the corrisponding file name to the destination HTML file."

What does this mean and how can I fix it?

Flash Player Detect
Hi all,

Does anyone know the script or where I might find the script that detects Flash player in the browser (IE and Netscape) to direct the visitor to a HTML home page or Flash home page automatically? One suggestion was embedding a 1x1 movie with getURL on the HTML page. Besides that method, a code that can do this effectively. The reason for it is that the home page would have an animated banner for visitors with Flash (if no Flash, static image or animated gif). The rest of the site is mostly HTML. The only issue is the initial home page. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Detect Flash 6 Plugin
Hi,

I have created Flash Sequences for my websites and have necassary Pre-Loaders as well.

Thing is this.. in my FlashMX, while Publishing the SWF File, I choose the "Detect for Flash 6" option so that the HTML page generate will detect of the user has Flash 6 plugin or not.. and if not.. download it.

The problem is, in case he doesn't have the Flash 6 Plugin, and the plugin download starts.. there is No activity on the page of indication for the user that something is happening or what is happening..

I have seen on sites where a text comes on the page that says "Our script has detected you dont' have Flash Plugin and is downloading it for you.. " .. and when the download completes, the text goes away and Flash appears. How do you do this? Or, how can you display anything you want while the plugin downloads?

Need help.

Thanks,
