This function always return "0" in IE
function getFlashVersion(){
var flash = 'None';
// Count down from 10.
for(var i = 10; i > 0; i--)
{
try{
flash = new ActiveXObject("ShockwaveFlash.ShockwaveFlash."+String(i));
}catch(e){
//console.log(e);
}
if(flash != 'None')
return flash.GetVariable("$version");
}
return 0;
}
but chrome return 11.8.r800
how to detect flash player version in IE.
I think you will have better luck using the swfobject library. Using this library you can simply do the following to get the flash version across browsers:
// returns a JavaScript object
var playerVersion = swfobject.getFlashPlayerVersion();
// access the major, minor and release version numbers via their respective properties
var majorVersion = playerVersion.major;
swfobject.js file in the link provided? This library defines the swfobject functionality...Here is what is used in one of my projects,
Works good also on IE
function getFlashVersion(){
// ie
try {
try {
// avoid fp6 minor version lookup issues

var axo = new ActiveXObject('ShockwaveFlash.ShockwaveFlash.6');
try { axo.AllowScriptAccess = 'always'; }
catch(e) { return '6,0,0'; }
} catch(e) {}
return new ActiveXObject('ShockwaveFlash.ShockwaveFlash').GetVariable('$version').replace(/\D+/g, ',').match(/^,?(.+),?$/)[1];
// other browsers
} catch(e) {
try {
if(navigator.mimeTypes["application/x-shockwave-flash"].enabledPlugin){
return (navigator.plugins["Shockwave Flash 2.0"] || navigator.plugins["Shockwave Flash"]).description.replace(/\D+/g, ",").match(/^,?(.+),?$/)[1];
}
} catch(e) {}
}
return '0,0,0';
}
var version = getFlashVersion().split(',').shift();
if(version < 10){
alert("Lower than 10");
}else{
alert("10 or higher");
}
Try this
var a, b, c, y ='length',v = "name",t = "indexOf",m = "match";
if (c=window.navigator.plugins)
for (var d = 0; d < c[y] && !b; d++) {
var e = c[d]; - 1 < e[v][t]("Shockwave Flash") && (b = e.description)
}
if (!b) try {
a = new ActiveXObject("ShockwaveFlash.ShockwaveFlash.7"), b = a.GetVariable("$version")
} catch (g) {}
if (!b) try {
a = new ActiveXObject("ShockwaveFlash.ShockwaveFlash.6"), b = "WIN 6,0,21,0", a.AllowScriptAccess = "always", b = a.GetVariable("$version")
} catch (ca) {}
if (!b) try {
a = new ActiveXObject("ShockwaveFlash.ShockwaveFlash"), b = a.GetVariable("$version")
} catch (l) {}
b &&
(a = b[m](/[\d]+/g)) && 3 <= a[y] && (b = a[0] + "." + a[1] + " r" + a[2]);
console.log(b) || void 0
