HI there,
I've picked up a couple of vbscript/javascript functions that enable me to check across all browsers ther flash player version. Including IE
They are from the swfObject.
My question is how do i use the function results in php (one of which is defined using vbscript the other javascript) to output results depending on the version.
In my example, i wish to output one movie when ver 8.0 and another when 6.0
cheers
steve
Code:
<script language="VBScript">
Visual basic helper required to detect Flash Player ActiveX control version information
Function VBGetSwfVer(i)
on error resume next
Dim swControl, swVersion
swVersion = 0
set swControl = CreateObject("ShockwaveFlash.ShockwaveFlash." + CStr(i))
if (IsObject(swControl)) then
swVersion = swControl.GetVariable("$version")
end if
VBGetSwfVer = swVersion
End Function
document.write(VBGetSwfVer(8))
</script>
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
function JSGetSwfVer(i){
// NS/Opera version >= 3 check for Flash plugin in plugin array
if (navigator.plugins != null && navigator.plugins.length > 0) {
if (navigator.plugins["Shockwave Flash 2.0"] || navigator.plugins["Shockwave Flash"]) {
var swVer2 = navigator.plugins["Shockwave Flash 2.0"] ? " 2.0" : "";
var flashDescription = navigator.plugins["Shockwave Flash" + swVer2].description;
descArray = flashDescription.split(" ");
tempArrayMajor = descArray[2].split(".");
versionMajor = tempArrayMajor[0];
versionMinor = tempArrayMajor[1];
if ( descArray[3] != "" ) {
tempArrayMinor = descArray[3].split("r");
} else {
tempArrayMinor = descArray[4].split("r");
}
versionRevision = tempArrayMinor[1] > 0 ? tempArrayMinor[1] : 0;
flashVer = versionMajor + "." + versionMinor + "." + versionRevision;
} else {
flashVer = -1;
}
}
// MSN/WebTV 2.6 supports Flash 4
else if (navigator.userAgent.toLowerCase().indexOf("webtv/2.6") != -1) flashVer = 4;
// WebTV 2.5 supports Flash 3
else if (navigator.userAgent.toLowerCase().indexOf("webtv/2.5") != -1) flashVer = 3;
// older WebTV supports Flash 2
else if (navigator.userAgent.toLowerCase().indexOf("webtv") != -1) flashVer = 2;
// Can't detect in all other cases
else {
flashVer = -1;
}
document.write(flashVer);
}
JSGetSwfVer(6);
