Re: [flasher] Is there a best way or script to look for flash 5 and redirect?

I'm the resident 'anti-javascript' zealot.  If you want a comparison of 

javascript-based detection vs. Flash-based detection, check out the 

'Notes' section at:

To be true, both have their advantages and disadvantages.

I included an example FLA that detects if the major version is '>4', but 

you can easily change that to be '= 5' for Flash 5-only detection.
