Re: FLASH: moock flash player detection :: public beta

[Cheri Harder]

Cheri very quietly replies, ummm, Colin?  Wish you'da been around the last

couple weeks here?  A group of Flash developers started talking about and

working on that very project 2-3 weeks ago, then MM spoke up and said they

have a similar "kit" in the works.  We viewed their pre-release version and

looks like we're all headed the same direction.  You can see what the

"Flashability" group put together so far in the "testing" section of

www.flashability.org.  Barranger Ridler did the coding for that project,

with input from several of the others of the group.  Then a man named Eric

did a merging of the MM script with the Flashability script and we wrote up

some "want lists" and sent it all off to Tony at MM who promises to

incorporation as much as possible.


The things on our lists included sniffing for and possibly passing to the

swf as variables details such as screen res, available screen size, cookies

enabled, color depth, connection type...in addition to the browser and/or

Flash player qualifications.  And I think our "sniffer" includes everything,

as well.


We would be honored if you were to join our group.  We have a simple mailing

list at:
