Figuring out a users flash version?

[MechatheSlag]

I've used the flash Active X in my game, but the file I run only works properly on Flash version 9. Is there any way to check if the user has a version below that?

I'm not really sure how this would be done, but you can get some info about the versions from the registry!

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Macromedia\FlashPlayer \SafeVersions

It seems that it creates a new value for each version, so check if the value "9.0" exists!?!

Hope it is of some help!

How exactly would I do that?
I've tried messing with the registry2 extension but I can't figure it out :c

[DanielRehn]

Use the "Value Exists" condition, with HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE as first parameter, "SOFTWARE\Macromedia\FlashPlayer\SafeVersions" as second and "9.0" as third parameter.

Works fine for me!

Thanks! That seemed to do the trick!

Happy to help

I have another issue with the Flash ActiveX though: whenever I create an activeX during runtime it crashes the application.

Why is this and how can it be prevented?

[DanielRehn]

No idea on this one, sry...

I figured it out. Appearently you need an ActiveX on the frame before you can create more.

Wooh, thanks guys.
