flash (macromedia) : flash detector, new window, Safari

We have been using a file called, " Dispatcher.vbs" and "Dispatcher.js" that I believe I downloaded from the Macromedia site so that in our Flash sites we call up a second window with the Flash file and it detects if they have the Flash 6 player. My question, what is the current method for doing this as it appears that this is no longer up to date for Safari browser on Mac OS X. I'm not even sure about pc because I haven't checked yet.
Our site is below.
Thank you for any help given.

The methods of detection did not really change.
YOu could check Moock.org , his detection is very nice .
ANyway , the detection can be fine , perhaps you just need to alter the detection version. The files will be hard coded , so if you update your player
to 7 , it might fail
to perform.

Thanks, yes I was planning on it now that we're using OS X I should be able to access his code. Can you help me locate where on his site I could find that?

Thanks-

Thank you so much. Once again you've been a great help. It looks liek Moock doesn't want to address Safari, doesn't it?
