Flash Video - detecting flash player 9 1

[eljacobs]

Hi

I have used flash cs3 to add video to a website, which requires that the visitor has flash 9 installed.

For those that don't have flash 9 a small icon appears in place of the video but there is no message/link to tell them to install the latest version of flash.

What is the best way to include flash 9 detection and inform the visitor that they need to install it?

Alternatively, is there an alternative that will allow visitors with an older version of flash to view it?

Thanks

Elliot

SWFObject should detect the version of the player installed: <
