Flash :: Detect The Latest Version Of Flash

Latest Flash Player Version Download
Hi,

If the visitor doesn't have the version of flash player required to view the swf, is the swf downlaoded to his computer anyway?

Basically, we have a flash movie of 100kb on one of our pages. It was downloaded(ie. played) 1000 times last month according to web log files. Does that mean that all 1000 visitors had the minimum version required to view the swf? Is it possible that 500 of them didn't have flash player at all, for example?

In other words, if the visitor doesn't have flash player at all(or version 3 when 6 is minimum required, for example) is the swf still downloaded to his computer?

Our goal is to determine how many visitors saw the swf movie.

Thanks for your feedback.

Embedding A Flash File (don't Know Version & Also Need To Avoid PC Warning Dialogues): What's The Latest Correct Way?
Problem: I've had a flash Christmas card created for a client by a designer. Before I can forward it to the client I want to embed it in a html page for them. The designer doesn't know how to do this (I wish I'd known before I commissioned them) and also told me they don't know what version of Flash created the file. They think it was 4 or 5. Eh? Whatever. I went to Adobe's site expecting that somewhere there would be a page providing the cut and paste code for this, but if there is such a page, it's impossible to find by an average person! So I tried cutting and pasting some code I found on a blog which discussed that Microsoft and created an update that caused all sorts of dialogue windows to appear before a flash file could be played e.g. "Click to activative this file", but that this new code would overcome them. Whatever. Pasted the code. Worked fine in a Mac browser, and on some PC browsers it didn't play, or the dialogue windows appeared and had to be clicked through before the file could be played. Am now officially tearing my eyebrows out. Could someone very kindly please paste or direct me to the embedding code that: plays a flash file of any version AND which overcomes any stupid PC dialogue windows. And Adobe: not everyone is a frigging navigational genius. Please put a link to this information on the first page of your Support page. Asking it as a question in the search box doesn't provide the simple answer!

Load The LATEST Version.
Hey people,

I have developed a swf, lets call it "project.swf" which will require updating over time, so to avoid a user loading an old version I will name the files thus:
"project1.swf", "project2.swf", "project3.swf" etc everytime a new version is published.

I load this file from a movie called "get_latest_version.swf", into which I hard code the latest version of "project.swf". Not very efficient at all!!

So heres what I want to do:

In "load_latest_version.swf" can I create a way of detecting the highest version number (newest version) and automatically loading that instead of always hard coding a new version number everytime I add a new feature?

I'm thinking: loadMovieNum("project"+getNewestVersion+".swf", 0);
But how would I detect the latest version (highest number) of a file?

Is this possible? I'm struggling here. Please someone help!!

Thanks.

I Have Latest Version - Secunia Thinks Otherwise
Hi

I have installed (and re-installed) the latest version of the Flash Player (9.0.28.0). I'm positive because when I 'verify' the installed version on: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ - the page confirms it.

However when I run Secunia's software inspector (http://secunia.com/software_inspector/?task=load) it finds an old version of the Flash 7.0.19.0 and flags it as 'Insecure'. This (I've checked) is in two places:
C:/WINDOWS/system32/Macromed/Flash/Flash.ocx
and
C:/I386/Flash.ocx

If my latest install is successful, why are these old versions stil here? Do I need them? How can I get rid of them through an uninstall, without messing up the latest version?

thanks

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."

Detect Flash Version In Win XP ?
Right, used html template 'detect for flash 6'. tried it on a PC with win 2000 and no flash - it took me staight to the macromedia download center and installed flash 6. My boss has win XP and flash 5. Instead of installing flash 6 it just shows the gif file.

It seems that the html files detects flash and tries to open the file but doesn't detect the correct version and so cannot open the file. Culd it be because we cannot install stuff on the PC's here - but then surely it would try to install flash 6 and then fail because we don't have 'permissions'.

If anyone can verify that it does install flash correctly that would be great, any other help much appreciated.

Detect Flash Version
Hi,

I'm using Flash MX, and I'm a bit confuse re the "detect flash version" in 'Publish Settings'.

Must I, or should I, create the 'detection file' and 'content file' and the 'alternate file' and publish all online?

Are they used "somehow" if needed, or how shall/should I do to activate this files?

Thanks.

Hello all.

I would like to ask you something regarding flash versions.
I am using flash 8 to create my web sites and I come up with the following problem:

Many users have flash 6 or 7 on their computers and they cannot see the site correctly.

Is there a way to make the published page detect the version of the client and redirect them to download the new one?

How do you overcome this problem without having to publish your site for a previous version of flash?

Thank you in advance for your help.

Detect Flash Version In CFM
I have a swf embedded in a coldfusion (cfm) page. I generate the "detect flash version" on the html tab of the publish settings and I post it to the internet and test - works as expected. I copy the generated code and paste it into my cfm page and it no longer works. Here is the part of the code the html has generated:

<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">

<param name="quality" value="high" />
<embed src="../../category/categor001/lect001001/swf/lect001001.swf" width="980" height="400" align="middle" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"></embed> 
</object>
</div>
// insert non-flash content
}
// -->
</script>

I switch out the object tag above with the following (my code):

<div align="center">
<object classid="clsid27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/s...rsion=7,0,19,0" width="980" height="400" align="middle">
<param name="movie" value="lect001001.swf" />

<embed src="lect001001.swf" width="980" height="400" align="middle" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"></embed> 
</object>
</div>

My swf plays but it no longer detects for the flash player. I have been testing on another computer. Anyways to work around this? I can supply the full html generated code if needed.

Detect Version Of Flash (v4+) ... Reliably
Hi

I need to detect the version of Flash player reliably on a site I'm building. Server is Win 2k3 and I only need to detect Flash 4 and above.

My initial thought is to include a small flash movie on each page, I would export this as Flash 4 swf and it would be v. simple. All that it would contain would be a check on $version and a redirect to an 'upgrade to latest version of flash' page if required. I can store the result of this in a session variable on the server for later reference.

Does anyone have any thoughts on this? I looked into this several years ago, and opened a can of worms. I think Colin Mook had a detection system that involved several flash movies in different versions, and several redirects, etc. I want something simpler and more elegant, and like I say I'm not worried about people with flash player < 4. They can view the HTML site!!

TIA
GW

Detect Flash Version Issue
Hi there,

I have selected the Detect Flash Version option in publish settings, generated the html/swf & tinkered so that if flash is not on the user's pc or javascript is not enabled, the browser displays an html version of the map I have created in Flash.

I uninstalled Flash player to test & the html map displays fine. However, when I reinstall Flash player 8 the Flash version of the map loads up but stops at 100% on the preloader. It's very weird because if I publish without the Detect Flash version selected, the Flash map goes up to 100% on the preloader then displays the map as it should. Can anyone tell me what I am missing here please?

I've attached the .html page.... Many thanks in advance for any help!

This web site makes use ofMacromedia®FlashTM software. You have an old version of Macromedia Flash Player that cannot play the content we've created. ...

Detect Flash Player Version--> Answer & Check
Hello,
[disclaimer]
First off, I want to appoligize if this should be in the site check, but it isn't really a site check, some i'm not too sure.
[/disclaimer]

As a result of google indexing the alternate page when you do Publish-->HTML-->Detect Flash. I wrote this script:

ActionScript Code:
function detectFlashPlayer() {
playerNotice_mc._visible = false;
okay_mc._visible = false;
var requiredPlayer = 7;
var playerVersion = System.capabilities.version;
var myLength = playerVersion.length;
var spaceNumber = playerVersion.indexOf(" ");
var subPlayer = playerVersion.substr(spaceNumber+1, playerVersion.length);
trace(subPlayer);
var userPlayer = subPlayer.substring(0, subPlayer.length-(subPlayer.length-1));
trace(userPlayer);
userPlayer = Number(userPlayer);
trace(userPlayer);
if (userPlayer<requiredPlayer) {
playerNotice_mc._visible = true;
} else {
okay_mc._visible = true;
}
}
detectFlashPlayer();

I need a little help checking if it works. HERE is the link. If you have version 7, you should see a red box saying you have version 7. Else, you should see a purple box asking you to update. Also, I don't really know AS 1.0 (just 2.0) so if you see something that wouldn't be compatable, please point that out.

For archival purposes the fla is attached (in MX NOT MX 2004). Also, here are 3 other threads that also deal with this in a little different way.

Plug-in Detect With Automatic Display Of Flash/Static Version
Hi Guys!

I’ve scoured the Internet for information on this topic (and found some rather _questionable_ solutions), and now I’m left banging my head against the keyboard trying to get this to work. So, this is my cry for “Help!”, prior to having the letters ‘sdfghj’ permanently imprinted on my forehead. =)

I just had someone design a Flash header for me and it looks great. It’s not one of those intense Flash creations, just a subtle mouse-over effect that gives it some flavor. In addition, he designed a static version that doesn’t have the Flash mouseover.

The problem that I’m faced with is I need some sort of method (which I assume would be JavaScript based on what I’ve read) that will allow me to detect if the user has the Flash plug-in. If they do, it should show them the Flash file. If they do not, it should show them the static version.

But, the ‘static’ version isn’t just one image. It’s actually been sliced up into a bunch of different pieces.

So, it can’t just be:
If you have Flash load ‘flash.swf’
If not load ‘static.jpg’.

If must be something like:
If you have Flash load ‘flash.swf’.
If not load:
<table>
<tr>
<td> <img src=”piece1.jpg"</td>
<td> <img src=”piece2.jpg"</td>
<ETC>
</tr>
</table>

I hope that is enough information and I explained everything clearly.

Can anyone shed some light on this issue or point me in the right direction?

I *really* appreciate your help!

Thanks in advance!

[Note: I don’t want the detection to redirect the user to another page, as that would be problematic for a bunch of other reasons. It needs to load the same page but with the static/flash header based on the detection.]

"update To Latest Version..." Not Appearing For Visitors
I made a real quick flash web page that includes a little movie animation I did. It works great, most of the time. My problem is that some folks just get a black screen. This is due, I think, to them not having the needed version of Flash/Shockwave installed on their machine. Why are they not being presented with the â€œupdate to the latest versionâ€¦â€ dialog?
I encoded the animation within flash because I though that would make everything more compatible.
Hereâ€™s the link:
http://www.mrtc.com/Sports/MRTC-Web.html
Please help ASAPâ€¦

Edit -
In my settings, I'm publishing to Flash 9 and Action Script 3. What is the lowest setting for these 2 that will play ( and loop ) the above link - it's just an .flv. If I can head off the need to have folks update, that work work just as well.

My overall query is how can we detect Action script version used in the swf file by coding or any method.

MM Detect Version 7 Woes . . .
I did a quick search on "Flash Player 7" as I am certain I am not the first to post something like this:

bluegel tried to pull up www.flashmartini.com and using the Detect Flash Version in the Publish Settings for FP7 she was directed to the appropriate update player page, but after updating, she still could not plat the swf, she was redirected but no indication was made to reboot (as I have seen on other machines). Apart from using the new and improved Moock FPI, any other thoughts? (doh, only 7% penetration with FP7!!!)

Here's her stuff (the default MM stuff):

Message:

You don't have the latest version of Macromedia Flash Player.
FlashMartini! makes use of Macromedia®FlashTM software. You have an old version of Macromedia Flash Player that cannot play the content we've created.

Why not download and install the latest version now? It will only take a moment.

so i download and install the flash player, then this message comes up again??
