Flash 2 is known as:

navigator.plugins["Shockwave Flash 2.0"]


And both Flash 2 and Flash 3 will return true for:

navigator.mimeTypes["application/x-shockwave-flash"]



I don't know your specific requirements, but you could use the above

info to detect Flash 2.0 users. Something like:


if(navigator.mimeTypes["application/x-shockwave-flash"]){

	if(navigator.plugins["Shockwave Flash 2.0"]){

		document.write("You have Flash 2.0");

	} 

	else {

		document.write("You have Flash 3.0");

	}

}
