flash (macromedia): Hi,

I created an interface with an FLV Player, the problem is not all users have
flash 8, most have flash 5/6 and the flv player in Flash 8 only works with
flash 8 player.
Is there a player for flash 6 ?

Otherwise is there a way to update the users' flash player before the movie
plays ?

you can incorporate flash player detection through the publish settings and get the users who have
not upgraded yet to do so if you must have flash 8 content - it's a funny/ironic thing when a new
player versions is released - most developers and/or their clients don't publish to the most recent
player because penetration isn't high enough yet, but if they all published to 8 then more users
would upgrade faster - kind of a catch 22. Flash 8 for me gives me enough reasons to detect for it
and prompt user to upgrade for the best possible experience - they will have to eventually - better
sooner than later i feel.

I have had the same problem. If your .swf holding the .flv is within a .html
page (Dreamweaver), code within the .html page will automatically check Flash
version of the user and offer to download the current.

I have found that almost everyone actually has at least Flash 7 by now. 7
will play an .flv that is published as a Flash 7 .flv.

How can I add flash player detection and then allow them to install it, this
is for a flash presentation in a CD and user may not be connected to
internet at that time, can I save the flash played in the CD and install
from there ?

for CD/offline content you want to publish as a projector (EXE) file which has the player wrapped
inside it.

Could you or someone explain exactly how to get html code to check that it is
the latest version of flah player, and then offer to download the new one???

I have looked in dreamweaver, and can't seem to find it....

I really need people to be using flash 8.

Thanks

I could be completely wrong about this, but when you publish your html from
flash, a line is added automatically that checks the version and offers the
download. I think it is this:


codebase="http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#
version=7,0,0,0" width="900" height="600" id="yourFileNameHere" align="middle">
