Displaying content based on browser

Question

Not sure if this is the right place or not, but is it
possible in Flash to do something like this...
detect the user's browser
position movie elements according to each browser
The issue is that my company is currently building sites
using all Flash and frames. So, each browser displays frames
differently. The issue with one site is, depending on the browser,
the flash movie in the top frame will be misaligned from the bottom
frame content, whereas on another browser, it looks fine. Right
now, we are stuck using frames so please don't suggest we get out
of frames. Our IT dept is working on that, but for now we are
stuck. Any suggestions?

Hey Lynda,
At the moment you still cannot list the secure zone an user is logged into, however you could try this workaround:
-say the user can choose between 2 secure zones to login into
-each secure zone has its own landing page
-create a blank landing page for each secure zones, we will use these as proxies
After the user enters his credentials he is redirected to the blank landing page. On this page insert 2 bits of javascript:
     -one that sets a cookie so that you know which secure zone the user is logged into
     -one that redirects the user to the "Members only" page
From the user's perspective he will just insert the credentials, login and be redirected to the Members only page. The difference is that by using the proxy pages you have a way of setting a cookie you can later use to determine what secure zone the user is logged into and customize the page appearance based on that.
Hope this helps,
Mihai.
