I have another question which i think is most easily solved by using javascript to find out if flash exist or not and dynamically modify the page. In my case place a placeholder, call jcupload code if flash exist or replace the placeholding div with my html
But the problem is i havent been able to find any javascript functions to tell me if flash is installed. All i found were html that displays alt html if flash isnt shown/enabled.
http://www.featureblend.com/javascript-flash-detection-library.html works for me every time.
generate the **required** HTML is pretty scary. Lucky i didnt have to do anything more then my linkhttp://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/download/detection_kit/
here you go check the client side map
Chris's answer is probably the simplest given your situation, where your upload control handles the embedding, but for future readers it's worth checking out swfobject, which can handle both the feature detection and the embedding. I believe something like this would work:
if (swfobject.getFlashPlayerVersion().major === 0)
{
// Do alternate content stuff
}
else
{
swfobject.embedSWF(flashUrl, "jcupload_content", width, height, "10.0.0", expressInstallUrl,
{}
{ menu: "false", allowScriptAccess: "always", scale: "noScale", wmode: "transparent", salign: "lt" },
{});
}
Substitute in your own flashUrl, width, height, and expressInstallUrl values. You can use the second parameter to supply flashvars, the third to customize the params to the embedding, and the fourth to customize any attributes you want the resulting object or embed tags to have.
