Can ColdFusion detect if Flash is available?
I'd like to be able to detect if a user's browser will support Flash, and ideally be able to tell if the version is up to date enough to handle my Flash application. Is this possible?K Simanonok 05/21/08 04:26 P Not directly. You can render a page that uses JavaScript to detectBarney Boisvert 05/21/08 04:32 P CF = server..

Is this possible? TIA Not directly. You can render a page that uses JavaScript to detect the flash player and version and then send the user to the appropriate (flash / non-flash) page. This is what the default wrapper of most Flash-producing environments (Flash IDE, FlexBuilder, etc.) does for you. cheers. barneyb > I'd like to be able to detect if a user's browser will support Flash, and ideally be able to tell if the version is up to date enough to handle my Flash application.
