Auto-checking if Flash player is installed and loading other page if not

Hi,
can someone tell me if it's possible and if yes what the
script is and
where to put it in order to:
have the browser check upon loading page X to see if the
user's computer has Flash player installed. If answer is "no", then
browser loads page Y instead of page X.
Thanks
Peter

You can detect the Flash player (and version) with javascript
and redirect or change the visibility of DOM objects based on the
detection results.
I believe that SWFObject has this functionality built in by
default:
http://code.google.com/p/swfobject/
Dreamweaver also has a pre-built behavior to do this.
Behaviors panel: click the plus button and select "Check Plugin",
select "Flash" from the drop-down list at the top and fill in the 2
URLs. Presto!

    Try to disable the hardware acceleration in the Flash Player.
    See:
    * https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Cannot+view+full+screen+Flash+videos
    * http://www.youtube.com/swf_test.html (right-click the player: Settings)
    Flash "Display settings" window:
    * http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/help01.html
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • Why doesn't flash player stay installed and why does the saved file disappear.

    Why doesn't flash player stay installed and why does the saved file disappear.  I have downloaded and installed flash player several times on my Win7 Vaio laptop. I have uninstalled and deleted all versions.  I am the administrator and I have also turned off my Security Software, but the same thing keeps happening over and over.  The Java Script is enabled and I have tried both downloading via IE and firefox.  It is rediculous that it keeps disappearing and I keep getting messages that the newest version is needed.  I am downloading directly from adobe and they say it is the latest.  Getting very frustrated.  They ask if we have any problems when we go to the finish line, but there is no place for comments.  I guess they don't really care if it works or not.

    So is it actually installed, or is it not?  If not, download and run the offline installers:
    Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer)
    Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)
    If it still does not work correctly, check

    In Firefox also check if the Shockwave Flash plugin is enabled.

  • Flash player is installed and up to date, but Safari refuses to register it.

    I've uninstalled and reinstalled flash player multiple times, and in my preferences it's listed as version 11.1.102.55. Yet when I open Safari all I see is "Missing Plug-In" as though it isn't even on my computer. I'd rather not change browsers, as I haven't had this problem for almost a year until now.

    On a Mac, it is installed in the Applications folder. You would either launch it from there the first time. Then I would add it to the dock.
    If you're a Windows user, someone else will help you.

  • The latest version of flash player is installed and yet none of the programs that use it can find or access it. I am running Windows 7. Is there anything in the Registry that could be blocking flash player from being accessed or used?

    The subject is the question. Files with flv extensions cannot be run or identified. Other software that uses flash player such as Rhapsody, can't find or use it either. It feels like a registry problem. Please do not waste time suggesting I uninstall and reinstall flash player as I have done than several times with no improvement or solution.

    Flash Player is a plugin, and typically used by browsers (and sometimes other software.)  Flash, by itself, won't open flv files.  Instead you'd load those files into your web browser and it would load Flash to render them.
    I don't know if Rhapsody uses the ActiveX or NPAPI versions of Flash Player.  Which do you have installed?  You can check this by going into the Programs and Features control panel and looking for the Adobe Flash Player entry(s).  It'll say NPAPI, PPAPI, or ActiveX at the end.

  • Flash player is installed and fully up to date but keeps crashing my streams trying to make me install it again

    I'm on a Mac, 10.8.5
    I am trying to watch video streams but every few minutes the tab switches to a flash popup that says I have to install flash to view the page. I installed it and it is all up to date but it keeps doing this over and over and over and over.
    Why is Adobe doing this and what do I need to do to make it stop? It's extremely annoying and so far customer service has been absolutely useless despite the so-called support promise they have.
    Someone please help with this problem...

    Also if there is a link I can use for one of those instant message chat supports (if Adobe offers that) can someone put it here? I keep following prompts on the website that look like they're sending you to someone who can help but all they do is send your in circles. I think Adobe should re-think that "promise" for support since even their phone lines don't have any option for Flash support or even an email address. Absolutely NOT a good company for customer support, that's for sure.
    Thanks to anyone who may be able to help me, hopefully someone in the community will be better help than I've received so far!

  • Flash Player is installed and enabled. Getting message it is not installed.

    I have uninstalled FP and Java.  Reinstalled and enabled BOTH.  Turned off my firewall and my security system before I installed both.  When I test FP it says it is not installed and to DL.  When I try youtube same message.  But when I check my system, the program is installed.  What do I do at this point?

    What OS?
    What browser?

  • Flash Player for Admin and no others on XP

    I've recently uninstalled and reinstalled latest version of
    Flash Player. Everything works fine for me (the PC's
    Administrator), but none of the other users on the machine. I have
    XP Media Center version. Any ideas what I need to do?

    There is no news; Apple still won't allow it.

  • Flash Player 9 installed????

    CONFUSED?? I have Flash Player 9 installed, and have checked
    this out on this website (all fine!)..... When I try to get on some
    websites, it tells me that I have Flash Player 9, but it will still
    not display the web page!?
    PLEASE HELP!?!

    Similar problem -- but using IE7RC1 - no swf files would
    play. Finally used the uninstaller for Version 9, found on Adobe
    site, and all worked fine. Apparently Flash Player version 9 has
    some issues with Microsoft (or is it the other way around) that
    causes it to not work. If you go back to previous version of Flash
    Player (the swf file I was trying to play was using version 7
    something) you just may find that all is now well. I've posted on
    the Microsoft IE7 site same findings since a lot of other people
    out there seem to be having the same problem with Flash Player.
    Hope this helps you fix the problem.

  • After the latest version of Adobe flash player was installed, movies and tv shows will not play, and

    After the latest version of Adobe Flash Player was installed,  movies and tv shows  will not run, and most of the news videos will not play. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling it but that does not help.

    I have windows (crap) seven and internet explorer.  When I try to access movies or tv shows, I'm always asked to install the latest version of Adobe Flash Player.  When I check the programs list, it indicates that Adobe Flash Player Active X is installed.  I have uninstalled adobe and reinstalled it several times.  Do you suppose this is a virus, and I need to redo the hard drive completely?

  • How to check if Flash Player ActiveX is installed

    Hello,
               I want to check if Flash Player ActiveX is installed or not in my Machine .
              I want to check through C++/MFC code
    Rahul,

    That is not a perfect solution. Because If someone does not have flash activeX installed and if he downloads only activeX component .ocx file and use regsvr32 <path_TO_ActiveX> then he will be successfully able to register activeX . So now pc is having activeX and still machine will not have C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash folder so checking only for folder is not a solution.
    Well after some research I found
    HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000}
    I don't know if it is a perfect solution. I am just going to test it on few machines.
