Netscape Problem!

[Bignewbie]

Hi guys!

is there a way to force netscape to download the lastest flash player?

The situation is like this. I just installed netscape 6.2 on my computer and checked out my website with it. I'm currently using Flash MX object on my site which require Flash Player 6. Unfortunately, Netscape 6.2 has Flash Player 5 installed in it. The effect of this is that my flash object wont show, especially since set it as transparent. It's been over a year that this browser has bugged me. Now it has returned. I need some quick answers please. Help!


respectfully yours,

i am just testing this on netscape, but i can't find anyone who has a flash5 player, please tell me if it's working well. I tested it on Iexplorer with the MX player and older palyers. If you have an older player an alert message should pop up and also the macromedia page will open.

so, here's how you make that: inside of a flash that you publish as Flash 5 or even flash 4 version, you put this code:

player = eval("$version");
myOutput = player;

player = substring(player, 5, 1);

// player will be equal to either 4 or 5 in Flash 4 or 5 Player, respectively.

if (player eq "") {
// Flash 3 Player will execute this code automatically,
getURL("javascript:alert('Please install Flash MX Player from Macromedia')");
getURL("[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash&P5_Language=English","_blank");[/URL]
} else if (player eq "4") {
getURL("javascript:alert('Please install Flash MX Player from Macromedia')");
getURL("[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash&P5_Language=English","_blank");[/URL]
} else if (player eq "5") {
getURL("javascript:alert('Please install Flash MX Player from Macromedia')");
getURL("[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash&P5_Language=English","_blank");[/URL]
}

that's it. now put it inside an html and please let me know if it works on netscape when you have the flash 5 player.

bye. Diana.
