As jd says there may really not be one.


Take a look at scriptless detection -- nightwares' front page, for

instance, has a FL3 file which, if visible, can be followed; however at

the bottom there is a text-only link. Some of that content may not be

visible in all browsers. What isn't visible... won't be clicked, at

least that's my theory. (Works in lynx.)


On the text-only side I have provisions for frameless browsers too built

into the page source.


So I really don't script for Flash detection myself, deliberately; it's

more trouble than it's worth, I think.


Just my take. Why use JS if you can author content for a lower common

denominator and let the browser fail silently to whatever it can handle?

Quicker and easier to debug. ;)
