Flash version detection question

I understand how to set the Flash player version when I
publish my Flash movie. But what is not clear in the book I'm
studying is when I upload the .swf file in my html page
(index.html) to my server, do I need to upload the html version of
my Flash file (when I published)? Or do the version detection
settings automatically get stored in the swf? In other words, if I
have 2 files -- movie.swf (which is in my index.html page) &
movie.html (which was published in Flash as well), do both need to
be uploaded? Or will the .swf file in my index.html page pickup the
visitors Flash version?
Thanks in advance!
Bernie C

The detection scripts are in the HTML (and probably an
external JS file). You don't HAVE to use the HTML file generated by
Flash, but you probably want to take a look at it and move some of
the code over to your index.html page. Don't forget to upload the
JS file if one is called as well.
Hope that helps!

Flash version detection in IE7

FYI - I found that IE 7 was not responding to check for Flash
version 9.*, kept telling me to upgrade - to fix this I changed the
script AC_OETags.js to check for Flash 8 and 9
try {
// version will be set for 9.X or greater players
axo = new ActiveXObject("ShockwaveFlash.ShockwaveFlash.9");
version = axo.GetVariable("$version");
} catch (e) {
if (!version)
try {
// version will be set for 8.X or greater players
axo = new ActiveXObject("ShockwaveFlash.ShockwaveFlash.8");
version = axo.GetVariable("$version");
} catch (e) {
if (!version)
try {
// version will be set for 7.X or greater players
axo = new ActiveXObject("ShockwaveFlash.ShockwaveFlash.7");
version = axo.GetVariable("$version");

Flash version detection with Captivate published files?

Doe sanyone know if the Captivate publishes their HTML file
that includes a flash detector of the user's system when they first
attempt to activate a piece of Cpativate content.?
I have a customer who wants to know how (most automatic )
method to have their Captivate contnet viewers systmes checked for
the approriate Flash player and feedback message to alert them tof
the need and how to download.

Hi jonturkle
I'm going to crawl way out here on this shaky little limb and
say that this is factored into the mix. I say that because I
recently saw a post where someone needed to output Captivate in
Flash 6 format. Captivate 3 outputs in Flash 7 format as a minimum.
They were saying that when they attempted to run the Captivate
files, the users were being prompted to install a newer version of
the Flash player.
Cheers... Rick

Detect Flash version for executable

I am currently using Captivate v2.0, and created a training
simulation for a new piece of software we are developing. When I
published the standalone executable, I selected Flash Player 7.
For those that were using Flash 6, the first screen would
appear, but they were not able to continue. It took me awhile to
figure it out, but I upgraded them to the latest version, and it
worked. I know this question was posed in an earlier posting, but
the link used was dead and I am hoping someone can answer. Is there
a way where the tutorial can detect what version of Flash is
installed, and recommend the user to upgrade to a later version?
One exception to this situation is when a user was using
Flash 9, and I was still unable to get the tutorial to work. I
rebuilt the stand-alone executable with Flash version 6, and it
worked for her. We rebooted her computer, reinstalled version 9,
and tried the tutorial with the version 7 needed, and still no
luck. Any ideas?
Thank you for your help.
Chas

Hi Chas and Larry,
I also faced this issue once and then it figured that the
standalone created by Captivate is not *standalone*. It works like
a wrapper, which in turn will call the activeX controls installed
in the browser, however, if flash player is not installed as
activeX, then the EXE generated from Captivate will install this on
the users machine (it will install the version which is selected
while creating that EXE).
Now here comes a problem, what happens if a user has a
previous version installed - In this case the EXE is not capable
enough to upgarde the flash player.
So there are two solutions you can opt for:
1. somehow communicate that a certain version of flash player
is a must to have. OR
2. modify the _skin file (or the playback controls), from the
template, use actionscript to find out which version is installed,
and perform operations based on that. (this was the approach which
I took)
Hope this Helps!

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.

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.

Flash Player Version Detection

FB3 deploys a Flash or Flex project with AC_OETags.js. The first line of that file is
// Flash Player Version Detection - Rev 1.6
If you are using FB4 or any product newer than FB3 could you compare the AC_OETags.js file?
Thanks in advance,
Jon

Thats helpful.
The FB3 app deployment included:
AC_OETags.js
history/history.css
history/history/.js
history/historyFrame.html
playerProductInstall.swf
js in the head of the html wrapper
// in the head
// Globals ...
// js in the body
AC_FL_RunContent() ...
How does the new deployment compare?

Prevent Flash player version detection

I have the same single flash movie (scrolling banner) on each
of the 12 pages of my CD based 'website'. When the webpage first
loads the user is prompted to say yes to the message; 'Are you sure
that you want to allow CDs to run active content on your
computer?'. Even when the 'In the future, do not show this
message.' checkbox is ticked I still have to press Yes 18 times
before my page loads. When I navigate to another page the message
appears again and Yes has to be pressed 10 times before the new
page loads. Obviously a microsoft bug that will quickly put off the
user.
I assume that I only need the code that checks Flash plugin
and version once in my whole website - preferably on my homepage
which is always loaded first (not for each movie on each page. As I
am not sure exactly which code to remove I tried using the Remove
Flash Video Detection option from the Commands menu however it is
grayed out. Does anyone have any idea why this is not enabled or
how I can improve this whole situation so the user is never or only
once asked re active content.
Should I publish the Flash movie as an older version to avoid
the user having to download the latest version of the Flash plugin,
or will this not prevent the message? As this site is CD based the
user may not be connected to the web.
Using Dreamweaver CS3 and Flash CS3.
Thanks

I have had to remove this mark of the web line of code as it
does in fact disable all links to my pdfs, as you mentioned.
I am extrememly annoyed with Microsoft over this as it is
very unlikely to ever get unsafe content from a CD compared with
the web / email.
So I am stuck again with a web interface for my CD content
that is unworkable in that it asks whether the user wants to run
active content 15 times at the start (when CD autoruns) and again
this many times each page change. Even when the little tick box is
checked to no show the message in future it still asks repeatedly.
My site contains 2 flash movies and 42 collapsible panels.
Can anyone please suggest any other methods whereby the user
does not have to change any settings or click many active content
messages?
Cheers

Server-side flash player version detection

Does anyone know of a method to pull the users flash-player
version number (the entire thing, not just
">6" or "9" but
"9,0,115,0") that does not use browserhawk. We
are building a troubleshooting page for our LMS built on ASP.net,
and do not want to use javascript, or vbscript to pull the version
number. We can use a javascript method if absolutely necessary, but
want to explore any server-side methods we can use first. We don't
want to use browserhawk as it is wholly too expensive for our
purposes.

I have done that temporarily, but we were hoping to do this
without placing a Flash SWF on the page. We are building a
troubleshooting page, and want to keep as many variables out of the
calculations as we can. IE, if Javascript is the issue, then a
Javascript to tell us the Flash version would be a bad idea. If
Flash is the issue, then a flash element would be a bad idea. If we
keep all of the calculations on the server-side, and not on the
client-side, then we know that nothing of the clients is messing
with the information displayed.

Flash plugin detected but not working (Firefox 22 on Linux)

Hi all,
I can't get the flash plugin to work. It's installed, detected in about:plugins, but when I visit adobes's test page at http://www.adobe.com/fr/shockwave/welcome/ , I just get the usual " you need a plugin to view this content" thing.
This happenned since I migrated from Mageia 1 to Mageia 2, and still doesn't work on Mageia 3, which uses Firefox 17 ESR. I then downloaded and installed Firefox 22 directly from Mozilla, still with no luck. I've reset my profile, tried to use an empty profile, tried disabling all add-ons, still no luck.
about:plugins displays this:
File : libflashplayer.so
Path : /opt/firefox/browser/plugins/libflashplayer.so
Version : 11,2,202,297
State : Enabled
Shockwave Flash 11.2 r202
This is the most up-to-date flash version available from Adobe.
Another thing is that this machine is a 32 bits install, on an Athlon XP 3000+ with a Radeon X1650 graphics card. Surprisingly, on another machine, using the same distro but with a 64 bits install, Flash works well.
I'm out of ideas now, so any hint would be welcome. Thank you.

Shockwave also known as Shockwave for Director is not the same as the Shockwave Flash Player.

LiveCycle Reader Extensions ES, version 8.2, and supported client Flash versions

Hello,
We are running Adobe LiveCycle Reader Extensions ES, Version 8.2.
We have a couple users that connect through IE (version 7) to create fillable forms.
Our companies standard version of Adobe Flash is 10.x
When we upgraded to 10.x, the users could no longer open (convert) a pdf to be able to make it fillable. The fix was to down grade the Flash version to version 9.
Is there a better fix for this, as I have another user that requires access to the LiveCycle server but is running Flash 10, yet I would prefer not to downgrade them to Flash 9.
Hopefully the above explanation makes sense, as I am technical support versus being a LiveCycle user.
Thanks!
Chris

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.
> 1. Why can the Flash Content be viewed if the Active X
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.
> 2. Is the Active X just used in the installation of the
Flash Player?
no
