detecting FLash 5

[geena]

does someone out there have Flash player detect code to put in html page, that sends the user to another html page if they don't have the plugin and lets the Flash movie play if they do...

cheers.

do a search for 'detect player'.

One alternative that I find quick and dirty are Flash's built in plug-in detectors. Under the Flash Template drop box in Publish->HTML you can choose to detect The flash plug-in, and if they don't have it, an alternative image you specify can appear, like one that says they don't have the plug-in, go back, whatever.

Hope this helps.

As tg said, that would be the one of the most common questions in the whole Flash forum... Do the search and get the information from there...
