Hello all ,

I was trying to create a script that would show the user if he have FLASH installed.

this is the script :

<html>
<head>
<title>
for plug-in
</title>
</head>
<body>
<script>
<!-- Hide script from old browsers
hasshockwave=false
for(i=0; i<navigator.plugins.length; i++) {
     if(navigator.plugins.name.indexof("shockwave") >=0) {
        hasshockwave=true
     }
}
if(hasshockwave) {
document.write("u have flash")
}
else {
document.write("u don't have flash")
}
//End hiding script from old browsers-->
</script>
</body>
</html>

but it's not working and only shows me "u don't have flash" even if the user have.

Some1 know how 2 fix it? tnx

so does it show it if they haven't got flash installed? have you tried switching the text round.. there was an online offline mod a while back that did that, and the text needed swapping round and that solved it..

I think this may help:

It contains much more than flash...

<SCRIPT language=VBScript>
<!--
VBXDetect ActX, "ShockWave Flash Plug-in", "ShockwaveFlash.ShockwaveFlash"
VBXDetect ActX, "ShockWave Director Plug-in", "SWCtl.SWCtl.1"
VBXDetect ActX, "ShockWave ActiveX Control Plug-in", "SWCtl.SWCtl.7"
VBXDetect ActX, "Active Shockwave Plug-in", "Macromedia.ActiveShockwave.1"
VBXDetect ActX, "Real Player Plug-in", "RealPlayer.RealPlayer(tm) ActiveX Control (32-bit)"
VBXDetect ActX, "Real Player Plug-in", "rmocx.RealPlayer G2 Control"
VBXDetect ActX, "Real Juke Box", "IERJCtl.IERJCtl.1"
VBXDetect ActX, "Media Player", "MediaPlayer.MediaPlayer.1"
VBXDetect ActX, "Adobe Acrobat Reader Plug-in", "PDF.PdfCtrl.1"
VBXDetect ActX, "MS Agent 1.5", "Agent.Control.1"
VBXDetect ActX, "MS Agent 2.0", "Agent.Control.2"
VBXDetect ActX, "MS Animation Control", "ComCtl2.Animation.1"
VBXDetect ActX, "MS DirectAnimation Control", "DirectAnimation.DirectAnimationIntegratedMediaControl.1"
VBXDetect ActX, "Microsoft VRML 2.0 Viewer", "MSVRML2C.VRMLBrowserCtl.1"

document.write "<BR><BR><textarea cols=60 rows=20 name=""ActiveX"">ActiveX installed:==>"
document.write ActX
document.write """</textarea>"

Function VBXDetect(byRef str, byVal name, byVal activeXname)
  on error resume next
  If ScriptEngineMajorVersion >= 2 then
 VBXDetect = False
 VBXDetect = IsObject(CreateObject(activeXname))
 If (err) then
   VBXDetect = False
 End If
  Else
 VBXDetect = False
  End if
  If VBXDetect = True Then
     If (str <> "") Then
  str = str & ",--> "
     End If
  str = str & name & " [" & activeXname & "]"
  End If
  Return str
End Function
-->
  </SCRIPT>

 

 

 

IF you just want to check if the user has flash or not... just add a little script like.. If 'activeXname' is Flash installed.. then go to page ....., or something like this...., but the above is only used if you want to see the PlugIn user has....

 

hint: useful if you added this code to the contact us form.
