Macromedia detection

[JonnyPT]

I know that JavaScript can do redirects based on browsers and such, but can JavaScript or any other language for that matter do a redirect based on whether the client has Macromedia Flash installed?
i want to make it so that if they have flash, it will be directed to a flash page, if they don't have flash, i'm going to redirect to a page with a link to download flash or a link to view the text/html version

Yep, there are a thousand and one flash detection scripts out there

Pick one that suits your needs and use it to set a boolean variable. Then use the value of that variable to perform your redirect.

SO basically i need to write a VBscript and a JavaScript and include one of them based on what browser they are using, then redirect based on the outcome of that, CONFUSING!

If you follow the links from the search I provided, most of them include the code that you're after.

I haven't used any myself... I don't do any work with flash... so I can't vouch for one over the other.
