when browser with flash5 comes to me flash 6 site, what happens?
 
If you've set your movie up correctly, it will tell the user that they need to update theor version of flash. It should also provide tehm with the appropriate link.

There's always a better way. The fun is trying to find it!
 
how is a movie set up correctly to tell the user to update their flash version?
 
When you "publish" your flash movie, make sure that the PLUGINSPAGE parameter points to the macromedia web site. This is done by default - just don't remove it.

The following in the object tag of a Flash Published html, checks againts version 6, as you can see at the end, and will automatically (in most cases...) re-direct the user to the MM download site, where he can choose to upgrade his player or not...

What about the flash detection option of 2004, why would one use that then?
thanks
