Version Checking 1

[Tanag]

I was wondering if there was a way to check what version of the Flash player my viewers are running?

I have a flash file that demo's a product and it was published in version 8. If the user is running any other version the file will load fine but several objects will not appear inside the file. So I would like to check their version and let them know if they need to upgrade or not.

Thanks in advance.

You can try this: trace(System.capabilities.version);

The help section in flash 8 should be able to give you more information on this.

If you publish the movie for 8 and you used the Publish Settings' html, then they should automatically be warned that they should update their players.
