AW: FLASH: Plugin detection also tab focus questions

[d4v3]

the best was to sniff the plugin is to use the flash4 sniffer vom

www.moock.org/webdesign

no vb/js scripting (and works on  mac/win ;ns/ie .it has also a gateway to

flash2 or flash flash3 user.


today i made a flash4.0r25/20 gateway ,wich could be include in that

detection.

i use a flash movie to read the eval("$version"),check it and than redirect

to further content or update screen.

Betreff: Re: FLASH: Plugin detection also tab focus questions



Hi,


I meant that IE on the mac doesn't support Javascript plug-in detection

(thanks Bill). I've been struggling with this for a while, looking for a

way to automatically serve my audience the Flash pages when they have the

appr. plug-in, or else serve them an html alternative. The best I've found

so far to achieve this (as far as I've seen until now) is to use the tip

>from Macromedia, # 14086, which describes a "technique for detecting the

Flash Player that does not require any type of JavaScript; the detection is

done using a Flash movie itself."

But I'll gladly accept better ways to achieve the same. What I at least

find important is that no one browsing my site gets any errors, be it on

windows or mac platform.
