Typo in Flash Detection Kit Guide?

I was reading about ActionScript detection method of
detecting Flash versions, and I came across this bit that doesn't
seem to make sense. Should that last sentence be a bullet point of
the previous list, so it would in effect read: "Avoid using
ActionScript detection when you would prefer to display alternate
content inline rather than directing end users to the Flash Player
installation page" ?

Anyone have any ideas?

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?
thanks

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!

Flash detection kit - How ?

Can i anyone give me the code to get the flash detection kit

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:

Flash Detection Question

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,
Sharon

I use swfObject for Flash detection. It's easier to control
than the Adobe solution and allows you to provide plain html
alternate content:

Flash Dectection kit + Hyperlinks

I've just finished implementing the Flash Detection kit and
all has worked well bar one problem. All my hyperlinks on the page
do not work. I have tried finding a solution but have been
unsuccessful. Has anyone experienced this problem before and maybe
provide the solution.
Hyperlinks worked fine in firefox but not IE7, which is what
im working with.
thanks

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
am

>> How can i check if the detection is actually working

> Uninstall the plugin.
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:

Detection Kit needs Testing Help

http://www.wonderfulmachine.com/
I have the detection kit on this page.
Detect for 7 and above.
The flash file is 7.
It seems to be working on a Mac just fine.
Not sure about the PC.
Can you test it on the PC?
Can you tell me what Flash you have?
Can you look at the code and make sure it is right?

Hey I'm a PC XP SP2 user
Your site worked just fine with flash player 9 in both IE 6
and Fire fox.
To try and stump it, I uninstalled my player and reinstalled
flash player 6r21 to see if it would cause problems... In internet
explorer, it actually still worked just fine which suprised me.
With player 6r21 in firefox, it said that I needed to install
flash so I did and it updated me to 9 but it redirected me (which
is the only way with player 6r65 and lower.
So I uninstalled again and tried verstion 6r65 and again it
worked with ie, but with firefox I had to be redirected to install
flash 9.
the flash detection kit offers an alternate .swf installer
that can update players 6r65 and up so if you want into look at
that and then more info about it, you can look here
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flash/articles/fp8_detection.html
Also, IE has added some really really annoying security
features in very recent history. One of those features makes you
have to click on flash (and other rich content) to activate it
before you can interact with it... very very annoying for
devolopers and users. This link:
http://www.amarasoftware.com/flash-problem.htm
explains the problem really well and offers a very simple solution
that I advise you apply to all of your flash pages. Their simple
way has worked for me, but there is also the macromedia endorsed
way that the article talks about, but I didn't bother with it for
its overcomplexity. This is very very recommended as many of your
targets with probably be using IE.
i hope I helped

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 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,

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 - 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,
Adninjastrator

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?
Kevin

I 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.
HELP!
