For browsers, if they support Netscape Plugins or ActiveX Controls, then

they'll support various versions of those. (In other words, all browsers

that support the Flash Player should support the Flash 4 Player.)

Not all browsers will tell JavaScript what version of a plugin they have.

There is an example of this, though, in the Flash technotes.


I'd recommend some of the other papers that come up for Flash 4 detection,

however... using a 4.0+ feature like variables, or a 4.02+ feature like the

"version" property, will work regardless of which browser is in use. Try

searching the Flash technotes with keyword "version".


(btw, please disregard the dates on these technotes... after being written

some had their formatting changed, which slightly changes the meaning, but

which also changed the dates.)
