Test Flash detection
Hello,
I got the flash detection kit and integrated it with a
website i am developing. Well a few people told me that they end up
with a blank page. I think that the flash detection did not work
and i am unable to check this part since all PCs at the office are
installed with the latest plugin.
How can i check if the detection is actually working ...
thanks

Agreed. :) The most convenient way I can think of is to use
Alessandro
Crugnola's Flash Switcher extension for Firefox.

Agreed again. Geoff Stearns even wrote a Dev Center article
on its use:

Test player detection IE7 without uninstalling flash
Hello all, I'm trying to test Falsh Player detection code.
Trying to see if there's a way to test IE7 without uninstalling the
Flash player.... I'd like to see what it looks like to users
without the correct version of Flash...
Anyway, want to temporarily turn off Flash in a page so I can
see what it looks like to non-flash player 8 users?
thanks!
btw - using the Flash Detection Kit...

Go to windows32 and look for macromed folder, just rename it,
restart browser
and you won't have the player anymore, test it, rename it
back.

I applied the massive code from my swf html into the index
page - but now I get TWO top banners and it also doesn't play the
alternate 'img src=indexalternate.jpg' when tested on a PC that
doesn't have Flash player 8 installed.
So my question is - which code do I remove (from what to
what) so the banner will appear once, not twice and why won't the
alternate content work? (tested on IE on a PC laptop which doesn't
have FLASH 8 player). Do I need to place the alternate content also
elsewhere? Have I placed the Flash detection javascript in the
wrong places?

Thanks much
KBI dont know why people like you help people like us.
But, thank God for you -- youre one of the good guys.
here it is:
http://rccm.org/indexNEW27.shtml
It does work a little different than I hoped.
With the proper v. of Flash it works perfectly, w/o flash, it
says "click here to be re-routed"
Is there anyway to load:
http://rccm.org/assets/2007/global-alternative/xALT.html
automatically in the place of the swf, if there the user
doesnt have flash installed?
If not, I'll leave it as is. Great progress- I'm thrilled
thanks again,

I've got a problem with the javascript which should detect
the flash plugin version, if it is deactivated or if there is a
flash plugin installed. I deactivated Flash in my browser. Now I
want my page to tell me that I have to activate the flash plugin.
If I try it locally on my pc everything works fine. If I try to
upload it on our server it don't work. and my page shows a broken
image and seem to find a flash version. Our server is a linux
mashine. Does anybody know something about this problem? Might be a
problem to receive the data via HTTP?123akru wrote:

HI! below is part of the swfobject code that is located in
the HTML page.
The first part in between the divs is displayed if the user
does not have
Flash plugin installed.
The next part has the movie to be played with the version
that is needed for
it to be played. in this case its version 8.0.22
This also works with the so.setAttribute("redirectUrl", IF
Flash is
detected but is lower than 8.0.22 then goto ExpressInstall
BUT IF the users
version is less than is needed for ExpressInstall to work
THEN "redirectUrl"
is used to redirect the user to another html page.
In that case it would be
"Errors_warnings/flash_not_detected.asp".
If you go back to geoff page and scroll down a bit you will
find that he
does has some examples of flash detect, flash verison, flash
expressInstall
( which will upgrade the users flash plugin automaticly). and
has a full
tutorial.
Usually people do reply as I am now, you must of hit slow
week.

Help installing flash detection express
I need some help installing the flash express detection
script.
Can anyone advise me on this?
1) This tutorial assumes that you have already added the
Flash 8 detection scripts to a web page (as explained in the
synopsis
of the implementation process) and have already downloaded the
Flash Player Detection Kit:
a) After you've exported HTML with Flash detection from Flash
8, move the JavaScript code found within the template's
<head> tag to the same location in your page along with the
JavaScript include, AC_OETags.js.
What exactly is it there asking me to do here?
Export what html with flash detection?
Are they talking about when I insert the swf movie file?
Not sure what there saying!
Can you advise?
KevinI have several times tried to install adobe flash player (which I'l call ADF for short) and follow each step carefully, to the last step (apparently) stating that ADF is installed,but then I get an email from one source or another asking me to install ADF. I have gone through this routine a number if times, and have a bunch of "Install ADF" signs scatted all over my desktop (I have an iMac).
Most recently, I have received a message that, in order to install ADF, I need to uninstall all previous ADF's BEFORE I download and install an ADF, so I download the uninstall App, thinking I will get some instuction, with that download in uninstalling the ADF residuals on my desktop
Instead, what I get is a potful of UNINSTALL ADF units (which I don't know what to do with, littering my desktop.

I am trying to include some script for flash detection on my
site to ensure that my viewers have the right flash player. Does
the Flash Detection Kit also include detection for ActiveX? The
reason I ask is because I have a page that some of my viewer have
trouble seeing and one discovered that she could see the page after
her flash player AND ActiveX were updated. I am not sure whether my
viewers problem is an old flash player or old ActiveX, but I need
to make sure both are up to date first.
If the Flash Detection Kit does not detect ActiveX does
anyone know where I can find code to do that?
Thanks,
SharonI use swfObject for Flash detection. It's easier to control
than the Adobe solution and allows you to provide plain html

Using the Flash detection kit from adobe
Question:
I want to use the flash detection kit, which is downloadable
at abobe site.
But the actionscript example that is provided uses a
subdirectory (which is called flash_content) to play the content
when the detection has been done. I've altered the
'flash_detection.as" file, but still it only seems to work if my
content is in the subdirectory flash_content.
But I do not want my content in a subdirectory (also to do
with search robots).
I can't seem to make it work, has anybody got any idea?
thanksAnyone have any ideas?

Flash Detection Kit - Express Install - Without Internet
Im interested in finding out if its possible to configure the Flash Detection Kit to download the plugins from a network-local location instead of the adobe site. Im working on a system that will be accessed in a closed network environment, and I need to have the plugins available in-house for machines that may not have them installed.
Does anyone have any advice on the best way of solving this?
thank you!Anyone have any ideas?

Unless there's a reason you need to use that particular
solution, I
recommend SWFObject. It's free, it's in wide use, and its
Google Code
website includes an AIR app that writes all the code for you.
You just fill
in a form of the SWF's name, width and height, etc., and the
thing generates
all the JavaScript code you need. Just copy and paste into
your HTML page.

There's also really good documentation here:

Tnx in advance!Hi
Can you tell me which version of dreamweaver you are using (and flash pro, if you have it), as the code you provided has element of a number of different versions (e.g. your js flash files are reasonably new, but your flash inserted into the html body is old, but with the cs3 version of flash player indicated!). Also the detect flash file is no longer required.

Hello. Apple hardware test has detected an error. 4SNS/1/40000001:TN1D--1.000 Anyone knows what that means ? OS doesn't boot. Maybe it's hard disk error ?
It means your screwed if you're out of warranty.
That error translates to your northbridge temperature sensor is bad- BUT IN MAC "GENIUS" LAND, that means you either need a whole new logic board (a $700 part) or buy a new MacBook. On the non-unibody MacBook pros, you could have came to my store and spend $75 and had a working computer the same day- this is no longer possible on the unibody MacBooks.
WHY, WHY, WHY?
In a bold design move, Apple decided to SOLDER the thermal sensors to the logic board (along with many other components such as the video, graphics and IO), thus rendering these parts NON-SERVICEABLE by us independant technicians. Apple's reasoning is that they can "make their notebooks thinner", but why sacrifice performace for asthetics? Who cares, buy a new MacBook.
WHO NEEDS TEMPERATURE SENSORS?
It doesn't matter if your laptop is running hot or not, when a temperature sensor goes bad on a Mac, it shuts your computer down to prevent further damage. Apple was the first company to implement this "failsafe", now PC motherboard vendors are following suit after watching Apple's stock soar. What this means: Is that you could actually have a perfectly functioning MacBook except for one thing; the little guy who's sole purpose is to report whether it's not the computer is running hot or not has decided to not show up for work, so they closed up shop. If you ask me, it's the equivalent of a restaraunt closing on account of not having a dishwasher- but that's just the opinion of an ex-certified ACMT and what do I know- I'm not a "genius" or anything. -
I just paid ten dollars for an app called flash detect. It is a total scam ... I want my ten dollars back. How can apple allow these apps on their store???
You can try the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via Store > View My Account and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find that app and use the 'Report a Problem' link.

.Exe with Flash detection
Hey fellow Flash users,
i'm wondering if anyone could tell me how to publish a EXE
file in Flash that has an incorporated Flash Detection script.
For the moment i'm using a AS based detection for my sfw
file(downloaded from and Adobe site). Problem being that ithe final
product has to be a selfrunning demo, wich means an exe file
executing the swf file in a player.(atleast in my case).
I know it's possible to publish a SWF to an EXE, but by doing
so, the different files, AS and directories the Action scripts need
are not incorporated in the EXE file.
Is there a way to compact all the different AS files,
directories and swf files to one EXE file ?
any help will be appriciated.
greetsWhat you have said here doesn't make any sense to me. Flash
Detection script usually means a way to detect what Flash player
the user has installed and either adjust itself or recommend that
the user update their player.
By publishing an EXE you are bundling the player into the
file and even if the end user has a different version installed it
won't matter. The EXE will use the version that is included inside
the EXE so no detection is necessary.
Now if your problem is that the external assets aren't
included in the EXE, then no detection script is going to help.
There are two ways to address this. Just include the external
assets on a CD or something. Remember that all load paths will be
relative to the EXE. It is very easy to construct a self-running
demo of this sort. Just keep everything nicely organized.
There are also third party tools which allow for packaging
everything together into one file. I haven't used them so I don't
know how well any of them work. -

Okay. Now it makes sense. Change this:
if ( MM_FlashCanPlay ) {
window.location.replace("

} else{
window.location.replace("
