Detect Flash Version
- Thread starter varnix
- Start date
hi,
you must know coldfusion is only a server-side language this means it's processed on the server and there's no way to detect something about the client that is not present in the HTTP header.
To detect any plugin you should use JavaScript ou VBScript (IE only). You can find that kind of plugin of several site about Javascript and HTML. If you to know if the client has the plugin on server side, just detect it on client-side and then redirect him with some parameters you could use.

Check out the CF_Browser tag:

I took a look at CF_Browser and it doesn't seem to work quite right.
It reports all Versions of NS as "Undefined", it ID's my MSIE as Version 5 when it is Version 6 and regardless of what version of Flash I have installed (I've got 2 PC's, one with 6 and one with 5) it reports the flash version as 0.
I even downloaded the Tag and tried it locally in case there was something with the remote connection.
I realize that this is normally a "Java" application, but I've often found CF Tags that have the Java portion of things built in and just output the data automatically for you.
Was just hoping to find a decent tag for this one too.
Guess I'll keep looking.
Thanks.

I've never used the tag. I noticed it had been updated in the last few months so I figured it would be a good choice since it's been around for a while. I guess not!

I've always liked BrowserHawk.
works pretty seamlessly in ColdFusion:
and it's quite powerful. Returns the Flash version down to the build number, if you want it.
Of course... at $300+ for the professional version, it ain't cheap.
Hope it helps,
