Detecting Flash?

[bluesauceuk]

Hi!

I am devloping a site aimed at doctors, healthcare workers - who mainly work in hospitals.

I want to be able to use flash... if they have it... but if not show a JPG in it's place..

We need to avoid the download flash - as in healthcare there is an awful lot of security inside hospital networks.

Network managers DO NOT want to allow "people" to download plugins... but we the PRIMARY FOCUS.. is that if they have it... they see the flash.swf else showflash.jpg and that's it.

It is important to note that this must happen on ONE PAGE - no hidden transparent flash movies.

It just needs to be fairly simple and resonably accurate.

PC and MAC platform too...

Can anyone help?

Thanks a million - and I give good stars if the answer is what I need!

Thanks again,


BS

Macromedia have something called the Flash Detection Kit (FDK?) - you should be able to search for it on their site. It will let you detect whether a user has Flash installed or not.

Hope this helps!
