another flash 6 detection question

[chilakilez]

first of all i would like to apologize cos i know there has been many post around in this subject and tuist me i ve read them all, tried moocks (but rather do it in flash than javascript) but i came into a brick wall and a deadline so i had to post this...
I tried to implemet theYiffer[s script for flash detection which according to me goes like this>

version = getVersion();
trace (version);
flash_ver = version.split(",");
ver0 = flash_ver[0];
ver1 = flash_ver[1];
ver2 = flash_ver[2];
ver3 = flash_ver[3];
trace (ver0)
trace (ver1)
trace (ver2)
trace (ver3)
flash_ver = ver0.split(" ");
ver_0 = flash_ver[0];
ver_1 = flash_ver[1];
trace(ver_0)
trace(ver_1)
if (ver_1 < 6) {
gotoAndStop (3);
} else {
gotoAndStop (20);
}
stop ();

but it just keeps going blank, nothing happens, then i tried this script made by jeese

requiredVersion = "6";
version = getVersion();
trace(version);
flash_ver = version.split(" ");
if (flash_ver[1].charAt(0) != requiredVersion) {
trace("wrong version");
} else {
trace("right version!");
}

which works wonderful, but i couldnt do one thing> add the gotoAndStop>

if (flash_ver[1].charAt(0) != requiredVersion) {
trace("tu version de Flash player es equivocada");
gotoAndStop(3);
} else {
trace("tu version de Flash Player es correcta");
gotoAndStop(3)
}

where am i supposed to put the gotoAndstop if the trace function doesnt accepts commands?
I tried changing the trace for a getVersion, but i decided to keep it as trace sionce is flash player 4 and get version is 5....then io tried a desperate attempt to combine both scripts>

requiredVersion = "6";
version = getVersion();
trace (version);
flash_ver = version.split(",");
flash_ver[2];
ver0 = flash_ver[0];
ver1 = flash_ver[1];
ver2 = flash_ver[2];
ver3 = flash_ver[3];
trace (ver0)
trace (ver1)
trace (ver2)
trace (ver3)
flash_ver = ver0.split(" ");
ver_0 = flash_ver[0];
ver_1 = flash_ver[1];
trace(ver_0)
trace(ver_1)
if (ver_1 < 6) {
trace("tu version de Flash player es correcta");
gotoAndStop (3);
}
if (flash_ver[1].charAt(0) != requiredVersion) {
trace("tu version de Flash player es equivocada");
gotoAndStop(20);
else {
gotoAndStop (20);
}
stop ();

which made an explosion in my screen (just kidding), of course it didnt work...so could anyone help me? im tired and im sorry if i didnt get myself explained my english is getting worse as the night goes by....
thanks in advance

I'm not sure if I understand completely, but this works or me (Flash MX player 6,0,79,0 and IE player 7,0,14,03):requiredVersion = "6";
version = getVersion();
trace(version);
flash_ver = version.split(" ");
if (flash_ver[1].charAt(0) >= requiredVersion) {
trace("right version");
gotoAndStop(20);
} else {
trace("wrong version");
gotoAndStop(3);
}Just changed (flash_ver[1].charAt(0) >= requiredVersion) so Flash Player 7 also is "right version".

I'm not quite sure what your problem is, though. getVersion() is only available in Flash Player 5 and later, so i'm not sure what it returns with version 4 and lower. trace() is only used for testing purposes and won't help you much after you've exported your movie...

Hope this helps! :confused:

yeah it helped a lot, my problem was that i couldnt place the gotoAndStop and none of the scripts above worked, but nothing happens yet...nothing apperas on the browser, i uninstalled flash player and tried with lower versions but still...is there something wrong?
thanks anyways!
