Flash Detection Javascript

This is the simple javascript code to detect whether flash installed on the machine or not! //Look for a version of Internet Explorer that supports ActiveX (i.e., one that's //running on a platform other than Mac or Windows 3.1) or a browser that supports //the plugin property of the navigator object and that has Flash Player 2.0 //installed. //The Check for Internet Explorer is needed as it can play native swf files. var flashSupported; if ( (navigator.appName == "Microsoft Internet Explorer" && navigator.appVersion.indexOf("Mac") == -1 && navigator.appVersion.indexOf("3.1") == -1) || (navigator.plugins && navigator.plugins["Shockwave Flash"]) || navigator.plugins["Shockwave Flash 2.0"]){ flashSupported = true; } else { flashSupported = false; }
