URGENT>>>check my SNIFFER Please<<<

Metrov 8 · 02-18-2001, 01:50 AM

Not long ago, I installed the Moock Flash Detection system on my site. I thought it was working great until today when I found that it told two different computer systems that it didn't have Flash WHEN IT DID! Consequently, the visitors couldn't get to my site. <**>

If you test, and the system tells you that you don't have Flash, and you do, please post here with your OS, PC or Mac, and browser.

Thank you very much

merci beacoup

Some guy on were-here just told me the fpi didn't work; he has IE 4.5 on a Mac with Flash 5 installed and the system told him he didn't have Flash. But Moock says it's been tested ok on that system. What to do? m

you can detect version inside flash
create an empty dynamic text box
and call it _version

Metrov 8 · 02-18-2001, 02:57 AM

Uhh, that sounds cool. But I think I need a few more details to understand exactly how this works. Do you put the text box on the first page? And then what happens? It tells the viewer what version of Flash he has? And if he doesn't have F5, some static text tells him he's gotta go get it? Is there a tutorial for this somewhere, Strok? Thanks

Hi Metrov

There is a new idea come up in my head
I made a test and it works

it is simple.

frame1
input text (variable=test)
and action on first frame:

test = "test";
if (test=="test") {
gotoAndPlay (3);
}
frame2
action stop() and something like (you need flash 5 plugin)

frame3
link to movie

i made FLA for you
http://www.actionscripts.org/help/me...t_5_plugin.fla
How it works?
Flash 4 doesn't understend ==(test equality)

Strok, thank you very much. I will try out your system. However, I've tried similar systems, and although they seem so simple and perfect, they did not work in several different circumstances. I don't know why. But I'll try yours. Thanks again, Metrov

Strok · 02-18-2001, 05:38 PM

Logically it suppose to work fine.
Because it doesn't have deal with browser or OS

and on frame2 you can add GetURL action to page which will detect OS and browser and send user to the right download section of plugin.

I published it as a tutorial.And let me know please if it has any problems.
