Flash player detection kit question

Hi,
I'm looking into implementing the flash player detection kit onto our website. I found a good resource about this but had a question: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flash/articles/fp8_detection.html
It looks like the flash player detection kit is focused on flash player 8. Are there any differences as to how to handle this situation for flash player 9 or 10, or will the kit work for all? Please note that I am not a flash developer, but am doing research to advise our IT folks as to how we should go about setting up proper flash detection on our site.
Thanks,
-Jeff

the flash program publishes an html with flash detection added to the html page. it detects the needed player version.
you can also use swfobject for reliable swf embedding and player detection.

Flash Player Detection Kit

社内でFlash Player のバージョン取得の為、Flash Player Detection Kitをダウンロードし使用しようか検討しておりますが、使用方法がよく解りません。マニュアルは英語で・・・。
ただ、バージョンを表示するだけで良いと考えておりますが、Ver7x以下はバージョンが表示されないようです。イントラ上ではなく、こちらのサイトにアクセスしてバージョン表示させるしか方法がないのでしょうか。

こちらに日本語の解説があります↓

ちなみにFlash Playerのバージョンを取得するだけでしたら、「getVersion関数」でいけると思います。Flash Player 5以上対応とのことです。

Flash Player Detection Kit License

Hi,
I was wondering what the license was for distributing the
Flash Player Detection Kit? And actually not the whole kit, just
the AC_OETag.js file itself. I can find information on licensing
the player itself, but nothing on the kit code.
Thanks,
Diana

There is no license for it. You can use the .js files as you
see fit.
That said, I am rabidly trying to get all our detection
technotes updated to let people know the following...
Note: As of the October 15, 2008 release of Flash Player 10,
Adobe recommends that developers use SWFObject2 for Flash Player
detection. For more information see the SWFObject page at Google
code (
http://code.google.com/p/swfobject/)
or "Detecting Flash Player versions and embedding SWF files with
SWFObject 2" on the Adobe Developer Connection. The following
information effects the Flash Player Detection Kit, which should
continue to work correctly with Flash Player 10.

Flash Player Detection Kit - Help With Ad...

HI all,
I want some advice regarding the Flash Player Detection Kit ( http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/download/detection_kit/ ). I would like to embed the detection process in just one file. Hence how can I embed a detection code into the flash file, so once its exported to swf, it'll have the detection code already and no additional files are needed?
Thanks in advanced.

Seems the reasoning is a little off. If the Flash detection is in the Flash .swf.... but the browser has no Flash plugin.. the .swf would never be read by the browser... hence no "Flash detection" scheme would be implemented.
That's why Flash detection has to take place out-side of the .swf, by the browser... exactly like .swfobject does.
Best wishes,

Flash Player Detection

I am trying to implement flash player detection using the
Flash Player Detection Kit - the actionscript way ie. using
the 'flash_detection.as' and the 'flash_detection.swf', (not
forgetting the 'update_flash.html' file also! )
I put the swf onto my 'index.html' - it being the first page
that is accessed when anyone goes onto our site - and I altered the
.as file to direct users once they had installed FPlayer8 to a page
called trueindex.html ( which was a copy of index.html without the
flash_detection.swf on it )
All that happened when it had installed flash player 8 was to
keep going back to index.html over and over again!
Because of a desire to sort out flash player detection issues
previously, I had already changed the code on index.html to include
the java script stuff to check for version 8 ( you could look at
the source code on the index page )
I'm just a little clueless as what to do now - my main desire
is to let the un-initiated install the flash player ver8 without
having to restart their PC or do a lot of messing about!
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Active X and Flash Player Detection

I am using the newe Flash Player Detection generated from
Flash 8 to look for Flash 6 or higher. It all works well when
tested until one user decided to remove the Active X control for
Flash but leave the Flash Player installed. When he came back to
the page he was able to see the Flash content.
1. Why can the Flash Content be viewed if the Active X is not
available?
2. Is the Active X just used in the installation of the Flash
Player?
Thanks.

What does that mean .. how can he remove the flash player
leave it
installed.. it makes no sense.
Unless, of course, he was using a browser other than IE (eg
FireFox) which
uses the Flash Player control add-on (Firefox et al do not
use ActiveX)
> When he came back to the page he was able to see the
Flash content.

is not available?
If you use a browser that does not use activex controls, then
the presence
of the activex version of the player makes no difference.

Flash Player?
no

I Need Help for the popup message every time I go to safari: "Warning! Old version of Adobe Flash Player detected. Please download new version."???

I Need Help for the popup message every time I go to safari: "Warning! Old version of Adobe Flash Player detected. Please download new version."???

If you are talking about Safari on the iPad, there is no version of Adobe Flash for iOS and there never has been. Clear Safari, close the app and reset the iPad.
Go to Settings>Safari>Clear History and Website Data
In order to close apps, you have to drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
If you are talking about Safari on your Mac, you are in the wrong forum. But I would still clear the cache, quit Safari and restart the Mac.

Adobe flash player keeps crashing (/questions/962745)

Just crashes every week, not daily, just weekly and I re-install it....started about 3 months ago.

I found a solution to the flash player crashes within Firefox, and have not had a single flash playser crash in 6 months at least. The solution involves creating a task to run at regular intervals to delete certain prefetch files. NOT all of them as it is NOT necessary to delete them all.
I have wrote a script that will create the folder structer in programdata/scripts/ and place the exe that actually does the deleting, and have successfully imported the task into task scheduler.
This should resolve all Flash player crashes within Firefox. I posted the information here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/968190?page=6#answer-51113 2
That script is not 100% Automated in the above link, but will get you started.
I have one that i have been able to fully automate, You would just need to check task scheduler in Windows 7 to confirm it will successfully import on its own.
I am looking for testers to confirm this works. This should work on windows 7 64 and 32 bit. Not tested on Windows 8

Flash player detection/install failure

First time login to Share. After inputting my Adobe id and
pw, I'm taken to:

The page has the title "Share beta - Flash player

fpdownload.macromedia.com and after a short wait, the status bar
reads "Done". There's nothing visible in the browser window except
that when I move the cursor to the center area, it changes to a
text editing cursor.

Kuler Flash player Detection

I have Flash player 10 debugger version installed and the guy
who made the script for player detection, apparently forgot to
detect this as the latest version of the player. :S

I also have flash player 10 but still get asked to install
player 10.

Flash Player 10.1 question for Mac

I tried downloading 10.1 and it downloads perfectly, as well as installs successfully, however when I go to open an internet page it still reads: Flash Player needed with the link that I've already clicked...? I am not all that proficient with computers so aside from the basics - I'm lost! I tried uninstalling it and reinstalling it with no success. I tried going through the support on the Adobe site but nothing remedied the situation. Any help would be much appreciated!!!

Hi, Perhaps the Shockwave Flash plugin is not enabled in Safari. I would check that first. It Installs also with Flash Player but sometimes it needs to be enabled.
Thanks,

Flash player install hanging question

trying to get flash player installed on new PC. Download works fine but install hangs and can only be closed through task manager. Have followed the help suggestions about closing explorer and other applications, downloading file and running from there, .....still does not work. Any other suggestions?

I just tried the link for FP for ActiveX (Internet Explorer) in Pat Willener's above reply, and the link did not work. Received this reply from Internet Explorer:
Oops! This link appears to be broken.
Did you mean: macromedia.com
I tried copying the url from the Properties of the link, and pasting it into a fresh browser window. Same result.
Is there an updated link available, that works?

Flash Player 6 support question

I have a client who wants to support version 6. I'm aware of
AOL browser issues with supporting the older version. Just wondered
if there were any other compelling reasons to support this? I do
use enhanced rules and shape tweening, so I'm obviously going to
have to change those.
Thanks for your time.

tell your client to buy Flash 8 Pro $69.

Flex Ajax bridge - flash player detection

Does anyone know of a Flex HTML wrapper template which
handles the express install (with history) user experiences in a
manner which is compatible with the lifecycle of the Flex/Ajax
bridge? Assuming JavaScript is enabled, the express install process
creates the embed DOM node for the SWF dynamically; however, the
FABridge scripts assume that the embed node(s) exist within the
DOM; the the initialisation of the FABridge queries the DOM for
‘bridge’ instances (i.e. embed tags with the relevant
flash vars). If the embed node is not present, the
FABridge.instances object is not initialised correctly. This causes
two problems: firstly, attempting to register an initialisation
callback in the FABridge will fail, since the bridge instance is
not known. Secondly, the ExternalInterface call from the Flash
component to signify that it has successfully initialised does not
have an endpoint to communicate with, meaning that the client side
lifecycle cannot be instantiated.
If anyone has come across a useful strategy to approach this
problem, I'd be hugely grateful for any pointers.
Thanks, Greg

Flash Player Security Sandbox Question

Hi,
We have an SWF file with another SWF file inside of it and a FLV that plays on load.
The address is http://www.inteletravel.com/Movie.cfm
However, we offer independent travel agents specialized sub domains like samgibson.inteletravel.com that are virtually set up. However, with these sub domains only the root blue SWF shows up. The player controls nor the FLV video itself appear.
Ww tried an XML cross domain policy file with no luck even though ithas worked for us with multiple sites in the past.
Any suggestions would be most appreciated.
Thanks.
