ActionScript 2.0 :: Detecting Connection Speed And Player Version
Feb 1, 2007
Anybody have (or know a source for) an actionscript that will do all of the following:
1. Detect the broadband connection speed of a site visitor.
2. Detect the version of Flash Player they have.
3. Use above information to steer the visitor (seamlessly and unbeknownst to them) to the one of several versions (on a streaming server) of an flv'd video that is the most appropriate for their connection speed/player version combo?
Also, what range of kbps versions would cover *most* situations (e.g., 100, 300, & 450?)

I'm having trouble with it. Most of the examples I've found on the net are in AS1 from 2004 and older, using some strange operation or modifier before variables which I haven't seen before -> /: And they don't work in AS2.So I've started making mine. I've thought of making two preloading frames, each would gather time and bytes loaded, than calculate the difference between them and thus getting connection speed.
ActionScript Code:
//frame 1
time0 = getTimer ()/1000;
[code]......

At run time, Is it possible to detect the 'Connection Speed of the user' and change the way my preloader works? Say If the user is on a Dial up connection then play the initial 50% of the movie that has been loaded while loading the remaining 50% in background, If the user is on DSL or cable then load the entire 100% movie and so on.

I am trying to build a preloader that detects the user's Flash Player version, and then loads the matching content: if the user has Flash Player 11, Stage3D content should be loaded.
The problem I'm running into is that a preloader that is compiled for Flash Player 10 can't display Flash Player 11 content, even if it is running in Flash Player 11.
Is this true? Are there solutions other than detecting the player version in JavaScript?

At the end of the movie I would like to check if the user is still connected to the Internet (they maybe on an unstable dial-up connection and lost connection). Is there anyway to do that? I mean, is there a way to check if a user is connected to the Internet using ActionScript?

In some cases, such as what my client wants - Flash 6 and Flash 7 players behave slightly differently... a very annoying thing at times.Now, what I need to be able to do is to detect what version of Flash Player the user has. This will be done while my flash application is playing and then run the appropriate part of the function I am writing.Any way to detect what version of Flash Player is running from within the Flash Player?

I try to show a Flash-10 animation in DW CS4 and I get the messageVoor het weergeven van de inhoud op deze pagina is een nieuwe versie van Adobe Flash Player vereist.In English: for representing the content of this page you need the new version of Adobe Flash Player. I download the new version (two times: In IE 8 and Firefox) and I still get the same message. How come? When I try-out in Flash everything is OK and the HTML-page is also OK in every browser there is.
