Flash :: Detecting Flash 6 Plugin

Detecting The Flash Plugin
When you come to all those flash sites out there that start playing the flash site immediately when you get there (without giving you an option first of downloading the plugin or of entering a static site) what is the method for doing that? Is there a setting which will detect automatically if the plugin is there ? and assuming there is such a setting,and the plugin is not there, what will the user see? A blank screen or a prompt to go get the plugin? Or will it automatically install the plugin without the user even knowing? I'm a bit uncertain on this whole topic. Can anyone set me straight? thanx.

DETECTING FLASH PLUGIN
Hello Guys!
I have found several techniques for detecting the flash plugin...using JavaScript, without using JavaScript...but can you tell me wich is the best solution...i want it to work in both browsers IE and Netscape.

Detecting Flash Plugin
Hi guys, I have been trying different techniques to detect the version of the flash player the user has installed. In case of an older version there is the "Express Install" method developed by macromedia. What I dont get about this is that every time I've tried this technique I just got a regular install window which tells me to close my browser before it can continue. When in the help files it says that the browser will be automatically redirected to the website upon complete installation. I have a feeling there is something mixed up with the way i've setup this express install method in my files.

Is there a way to have the user plugin be automatically updated without having to close the browser and restart it?

looking forward to hear your suggestions...

Please Help W/detecting Flash 5 Plugin
Hi all,
i've been trying all kinds of tutorilals to sniff for flash 5 plugin for my site. what i want to do is detect presence and/or absence of a flash 5 plugin from within flash (or any other way) on my index.htm and then, instead of automatically going and opening the flash site in a browser window, to open in a new browser window. in other words, i would like to have a sniffer, but would still like my audience to make a decision about whether they want to go to a flash or html site. I'm new to flash, so let me know if this is at all possible.
thanks

Detecting Flash Plugin Using Javascript
I am using flash to enhance a website. I do not want to require the user to add flash. I want to simply replace the flash with an image. I am looking for a way to detect flash from javascript.

I have tried a package written by a guy named Moock. The code works fine everywhere except IE/windows.

Any suggestions?

thanks,
tqii

Detecting Flash Plugin Or Defalting To Html
I have created a site with both a html and a swf version but the users are not able to download plugins to their computers. So i was wondering if there was some code that would automatically direct users to either version depending on weather they have the plugin or not.

any feedback would be appreciated

Detecting Plugin
If i dont have a plugin for running swish it open a plugin download window. But i want that if the machine already has the required plugin, only then the swish image should come ....else..a gif image should come up..in place of swish(for the users who dont have the required plugin).
Bottomline ...the plugin window should never bug the user.
How can i do that??
thanx and regards

Javascript Popup To Install Flash Plugin, But Plugin Is Already Installed..
I have plugin checker code in place, checking for Plugin 9. On a co workers computer at home, she is prompted to download the Flash plugin via a javascript alert window that says "Install" or "Don't Install". After doing the install, it continues to happen over and over. This ONLY happens with Flash Plugin 9. I am about to revert back to Actionscript 2.0 for this application and use Flash Plugin 8 to see if that fixes it. Has anyone run into this before and does anyone have any resolution? If more info is needed let me know I'll be happy to provide.. Thanks

Detect Flash Plugin, If No Plugin --redirect To Non-flash Site (javascript)
Wanting to know how to redirect a user to another site (non-flash) if they do not have the flash plugin installed on their computer.

--all of this using javascript on the main login-page

if no flash installed on computer, redirect to---non_flash.htm
if flash is detected then redirect to--flash.htm

reason being, some of the people that are using my web apps are old and don;t feel as if they should have to download something on their computer to run my software.
stupid, i know---

Thanks in advance

Flash Plugin Error "Plugin Cancelled"
Hi, Just built a small test tool to resize an image. Its working fine on my local machine however when uploaded to my site the externally loaded jpg file wont load and I'm getting a Plugin Cancelled error in the Safari activity window. I tried with firefox and no luck. I just upgraded to flash plugin 8 a few days ago. I'm publishing with mx2004 (FP 7)

my site: http://joeshields.net/flashlab/image...ageresize.html

Any help would be appreciated.

Flash Plugin BUG?
Hi all,

one of my sites works great in IE on Windows, but seems to crash on Netscape Win, Netscape and IE Mac. Looks like a plugin bug. Activex works fine.

Here's the url:

http://www.melindasmithstudio.com

Go to the gallery section (either by clicking on a picture on the right in the home page or by selecting "gallery").

Wait a few seconds for all the thumbnails to load. Then select a painting in the bottom left bar. In IE (windows), it will load a new painting in the main pane. In any other platform/browser, it will probably reload the entire movie and send you back to the home page. Then if you go back to gallery, weird things happen (try to load a painting and take a look at the navigator/zoom pane).

First of all, can you guys reproduce the error or am I crazy?

Secondly, is this a know plug-in vs activex issue?? I *KNOW* my code is clean. It's working just fine in IE.

I thought Flash was the ultimate remedy to cross-platform debugging. Apparently not.

Macromedia, Flashkit gurus, any input?

Thanks guys,

Stephane

Flash Plugin
I've seen either a tutorial or thread on one of the forums which outlined a neat trick - place an image instead of a swf if the user doesn't have the correct flash plugin.
I use MX and I realise that it automatically checks for the correct plugin, but I'd like to know if placing an image instead is an option.
I have searched the tutorials and cannot find anything... I'm sure I didn't imagine this, can anyone shed any light on the subject???

What Flash Plugin Came With IE 5.5
Hello-
I'm doing some flash work for a client and when I asked them what version SWF I should deliver, they said "whatever shipped with IE 5.5 (for PC)"

Does anyone know what version plugin IE 5.5 shipped with - or does it depend on what build of IE 5.5 you're talking about?

Thanks-

A Plugin In Flash
Is it possible to have a quick time movie in a Flash site WITHOUT having to chop up my flash site in to 9 pieces and put them into frames or a table? That would be grat if you could do that. Or even make it pop up in a higher level of the flash page using load movie. Or does that only work on .swfs and .jpgs?

THANKS much!!!!
CHEERS!!

Get Around A Flash Plugin?
I am okay using flash, but I am new at trying to integrate it with other programs. If I wanted to have a Flash Website (swf) loaded with a Dreamweaver HTML site but I need to create a preloader page that informs the user that they must download a flash plugin.

The problem is allowing users to see the webpage with or without a flash plugin, but if we are using flash, then that is impossible. So I am trying to create a page that warns the user first.

Any suggestions, help is greatly appreciated

Flash 6 Plugin Problem
Hi, one of my users has reported the following problem, have any of you guys sean or heard of it, or its solution?

Basically if flash 5 is installed on explorer 5 (my situation) then
flash 6 may not install, but will still give the successful installation
screen on the macromedia site, so you believe you do have it. To get rid
of this problem you need to delete various obscure files, then install
flash 4 to get rid of a setting in flash 5 which says never install
flash activex again, then uninstall flash 4 and install flash 6. 2 hrs
later and it is working fine!
