I need help detecting a Flash 8 Plugin

[kyledavis]

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I just created some flash videos for a site on flash 8. I created the page on my computer and then tried it out on my friends computer. Some videos dont play, in others the masks dont work. I had him install the flash 8 plugin from the macromedia website and it solved everything. How can I detect a flash 8 plugin?

rh71 posted a flash program that he wrote to detect player versions in another flash thread. Here is the site: http://www.rh71.com/projects/versiondetect/versiondetect.html

^ well the above is just for informational purposes... if you need code to detect then act accordingly, I think this may do it. I am actually using a version from Colin Moock (famous Flash scripter) that he made available around the time of Flash 6. And looking at his maintained site, he points to this now. (source)
