How to check for Adobe flash Player installed on Mac with Applescript?

Question

Hi All,
I am trying to installl the AdobeFlashPlayer programmatically, before that i need to chk Whether if its already installed?, if yes then i need to get the version of the same. Since flash player will be added as a plugin, i need to chk the same in Safari and Firefox browsers. Pls suggest how to achieve the same using Applescripts (without using SWFObjects).
