Re: FLASH: Is there a DEFINITIVE Flash3 auto-detection?

[Daniel Votino]

John,

    Not sure if the "overcomplicated detection"  was for me or the other

Daniel I was answering.  lol  Probably me since the attached file was indeed

a complicated one.  I suppose if all you want to detect is for the plugin

there are easier scripts but Ive found this file helps for whatever project

one might be working on, Flash or no Flash.  I know it helps me separate and

decide what to do with webtv users and netscape 2 users, and all the others

all in one script.  That way if a problem becomes detected AFTER a site is

up, I can quckly redirect that problem browser somewhere where theyre

guarteed to see something while I work on the project further.  For example,

the frames issues, the table issues between netscape and IE and the stuff

like that that I continue to run into while developing different layouts and

such.  Is it an overstatement to say DAM, all the different browsers make

for a lot of extra work!  (One reason why Flash is so nice, at least with a

plugin it runs independant of all that.)


Nuff jabber about nothin . . . sorry folks.


~Daniel
