how to detect flash using SWFObject

Question

I have downloaded SWFObject, and included it in my website. Now I want to simply get a true or false value based on whether or not Flash is install

Answer 1

if (swfobject.hasFlashPlayerVersion("9.0.18")) {
  // has Flash
}
else {
  // no Flash
}

or replace "9.0.18" with the minimum version you require
