Flash Player Detection

For running any ICEspresso application, the current ICEspresso Chat Framework requires the browser has Flash Player plug-in (v8.0.0 or above) installed.

So add javascript codes for the Flash Player detection in your web page and alert user to the lack of Flash Player plug-in should be a good idea.

There is an article on Adobe web site talks about the solution for Flash Player detection and provides a sample kit for downloading.

The Client-side detection method is the one ICEspresso needs. After download the sample kit, just look for three files in the zip:

1. ClientSideDetection.html: the client-side detection sample page.

2. AC_OETags.js: the javascript library for Flash Player detection.

3. example.swf: the sample Flash movie.

Open ClientSideDetection.html in any text editor then copy-and-paste the codes to your ICEspresso application page.

The necessary parts are:

Code:

<script src="AC_OETags.js" language="javascript"></script>
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
<!--
// -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Globals
// Major version of Flash required
var requiredMajorVersion = 8;
// Minor version of Flash required
var requiredMinorVersion = 0;
// Minor version of Flash required
var requiredRevision = 0;
// -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
// -->
</script>

and

Code:

<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
<!--
// Version check based upon the values entered above in "Globals"
var hasReqestedVersion = DetectFlashVer(requiredMajorVersion, requiredMinorVersion, requiredRevision);
 
// Check to see if the version meets the requirements for playback
if (hasReqestedVersion) {
  // if we've detected an acceptable version
  // embed the Flash Content SWF when all tests are passed
  AC_FL_RunContent(
        "src", "example",
        "width", "550",
        "height", "200",
        "align", "middle",
        "id", "detectionExample",
        "quality", "high",
        "bgcolor", "#FFFFFF",
        "name", "detectionExample",
        "allowScriptAccess","sameDomain",
        "type", "application/x-shockwave-flash",
        'codebase', 'http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/swflash.cab',
        "pluginspage", "http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer"
  );
} else {  // flash is too old or we can't detect the plugin
  var alternateContent = 'Alternate HTML content should be placed here.<BR>'
  + 'This content requires the Adobe Flash Player. '
  + '<a href=http://www.adobe.com/go/getflash/>Get Flash</a>';
  document.write(alternateContent);  // insert non-flash content
}
// -->
</script>

You may change the logic of

if (hasReqestedVersion) {…}

to what you want to act once required Flash Player plug-in has been installed.

I never have any problems with my flash player, and I've already update it to v8.0.0. I would keep this information if ever that I'll be having problems running this to ICEspresso apps, I already have my guide to fix it.
