JavaScript / DOM / AJAX: Using SWFObject to detect Flash version and serve swfs accordingly...
Bottom of Page1 to 5 of 5
-
So, I'm told you can use SWF object to serve say, a Flash 8 swf to those who have the required player, but a Flash 6 swf to everyone else....
Something like...
if (flash 8) {
swf = "flash8.swf";
} else {
swf = "flash6.swf";
}
new swfobject(swf, "myswf", ...
Can anyone help me write this properly... I'm a bit stuck!
Cheers,
James -
here's the general idea:
var flashVersion = deconcept.SWFObjectUtil.getPlayerVersion();
var swf = "flash6.swf";
var minVersion = "6";
if(flashVersion['major'] >= 8) {
swf = "flash8.swf";
var minVersion = "8";
}
var so = new SWFObject(swf, "myswf", "300", "300", minVersion, "#ffffff");
so.write("flashcontent"); -
Thanks John! I should really know this as it's now far off actionscript, but wanted to check anyhow :)

Hmm, John's code doesn't seem to be working - I don't think the swf and minVersion variables are working... well at least they are not being replaced with an actual value... and the swf is not showing...
<script type="text/javascript">
// <![CDATA[
var flashVersion = deconcept.SWFObjectUtil.getPlayerVersion();
var swf = "myswf_v6.swf";
var minVersion = "6";
if(flashVersion['major'] >= 8) {
swf = "myswf.swf";
var minVersion = "8";
}
var fo = new FlashObject(swf, "flashlayer", "912", "540", minVersion, "#000000");
fo.write("content");
// ]]>
</script> -
EDIT. This was a stupid comment so have deleted it.
