View 2 RepliesI know how to detect if Flash player is installed in a browser. I'm using the hasFlashPlayerVersion() function of swfobject for that. However, I can't seem to find any documentation on how to detect if the plug-in is installed and just disabled. I didn't see any documentation in the Flash Player Detection Kit that checks if the plug-in is enabled either.

View 3 RepliesI'd like to provide alternate content for my site (a basic blog for example) in case the user does not have flash/does not want to see the flash site. Is this possible? I'd like to do it without creating a splash page that requires input.I would also like this to work for a mobile device like the ipad. I know ipads/iphones cant read flash files, so is there a way to detect that it is a mobile device and route the user to the alternate content?
View 1 RepliesI am so stuck with this I have a full flash site and a HTML5 site (made in Hype)All I want is the index file to detect if Flash is installed, if yes go to the flashsite and if not, then it should, load the html website.Here is my index file. Where do I put the redirect code?
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">

This is really a two part question. First, is it possible to detect if Flash is installed on an Android device? Second, if it is installed, is it possible to display a flash video in an Activity? I'm thinking you'd have to use a WebView widget within your Activity to display the Flash content instead of something like a VideoView. Is Flash even supported within the WebView widget or is it only supported by the actual Browser app?
View 1 RepliesI'm wondering wether there's a Javascript way to detect wether a user has any sort of flash blocking plugin installed so i can accommodate these users properly. For example, I use 'click to flash', but sites that use SiFR to render text are littered with "click to flash" buttons, which is getting very annoying. I don't use SiFR in my designs for this reason. But if I could spot wether there's a flash blocking plugin installed, I would simply not call the SiFR function.

View 1 RepliesI want to use a fallback solution for HTML5 / flash audio players.
I wonder if I can use jQuery to check if HTML5 is supported.
I know there is .support() [URL]..but I'm not sure which would be a bullet proof check.
I want to check from my code if a particular version of flash player is installed or not. I used the following code
using Microsoft.Win32
RegistryKey RK = Registry.CurrentUser.OpenSubKey("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Macromedia\FlashPlayer");

Kindly let me know how to check if a particular version of flash player is installed in a system or not USING C#.NET.
I was testing out some applications written in AS3 and it worked fine untill I encountered one app when I got the Flash10i.ocx error message.I uninstalled and re-installed the flash player and this time when I run the application I got the Flash10k.ocx error. I am using IE 7 and Flash CS5 and my OS is Win XP professional.

I am trying to stream audio to my flash application. I got it working with a test MP3 file. But the problem is that MP3 encoders are protected by patents and require license fees.(I am living in Canada) Isn't there a open audio file format supported by flash?
View 1 RepliesI know this is probably something that is discussed a lot but I cannot find the solution to meet my exact needs. I need to redirect website visitors to an HTML version of my website (or show HTML instead of Flash) when they do not have flash player installed. I need a simple, clean, quick solution because there are about 70,000 letters that went out to customers with the site on them and the client just asked for this behavior this morning, right when the mail is supposed to hit mailboxes today.
View 3 RepliesI have just installed Flash Media Server developer version 4.5 on my server, the Start Screen appears and keeps asking me to install Flash Player version 10.2 or above. I have repeatedly installed Flash Player 11 to no avail. I have tried to start the Admin Console but it just shows the 'get flash player' icon. I can confirm that Apache is running as I get an error from it when I try to access the Admin Console from the Internet. The Adobe web-site confirms that Flash Player 11 is installed and working correctly for the Operating System, Windows 2k8-R2. I have restarted the server to make sure everything has installed correctly, but it makes no difference.
View 1 RepliesDoes there exist a library / program that can play mp3 files using flash as html5 fallback dynamically? By dynamically, I mean that the player can switch the current mp3 thats playing, even after dom has loaded. The problem I run into with most flash audio players is that they depend on the song being loaded when the dom loads, but my website loads songs through ajax.
View 3 RepliesI actually have two websites on the same domain. say, for example[URL]..flashsite contain the website that is fully flash based while the other is an html based with no flash. what i want is that, if somebody visits my url on [URL]..the javascript should first detect if the plugin is installed in his browser. if yes, then it should take me directly to the "flashsite" folder, and if not, then it should, by default, load the html website.

View 1 RepliesI'm working on implementing a fallback mechanism for the HTML5 video player. I've got a way to replace it with the swfobject Flash player, but how should I detect if any issues have developed?
In other words, if we use the following list of error events that can be thrown, which one should trigger the Flash player replacement? Or should we simply do a replacement if any error is thrown?
Also, where should the onError handler be called? I'm thinking on the video tag, but want to make sure.

View 2 RepliesI've made a flash file (mac, Flash 5.5) and exported the .html. .swf and .js file with settings to Flash player 8.My viewers on a PC (Firefox 8 on XP) keep getting asked to download Flash player 8 even though they already have Flash 10 installed.I've even unticked the 'check for flash version' option in the publish settings, but the users still get asked to update to player 8.
View 2 Replieson publishing some FLA files on FLASH-8, a warning pops up saying the target Flash Player "Flash Player 8"is not installed. The standard Flash Player will be used instead" Flash Player 8 has been installed together with FLASH-8 and it shows up in Currently installed programmes in Control Panel. It is marked as a rarely used programme though I run SWF every day. Another strange thing is that it used to be marked with that FLASH red icon, now it is marked with the folder icon.
Control Panel also shows Adobe Flash Player 10 ActiveX and Adobe Flash Player 10 Plugin which I do not recall to installed - probably they came as an upgrade - I wonder if they somehow screen off Flash Player 8?
I have just been asked to do a project that i can do it in flash cause of its interactivity and graphical comunication and so on... its like an interactive map, VERY interactive. BUT, came the question of how long more will Flash survive after the HTML5 and the discontinuing of flash player for mobiles.Does it worth it doing it on Flash or should i move to something else?
