hese files are used to enable detection of the end user's Flash Player version, initate a player-based installation, and return the user to your site to view your content.

* AC_OETags.jsWhole Life Insurance
JavaScript source file; used by ClientSideDetection.html to detect and embed the Flash Player
* example.swf
Flash movie to test your implementation of the Express Install process
* playerProductInstall.swfEvidence Discovery

* playerProductInstall.fla
Calls on the ActionScript files of the same name to complete the Express Install process

I think the below function will be useful..

function getFlashVersion(){
// ie
try {
try {
// avoid fp6 minor version lookup issues
// see: deconcept » GetVariable/SetVariable crashes Internet Explorer with Flash Player 6
var axo = new ActiveXObject('ShockwaveFlash.ShockwaveFlash.6');
try { axo.AllowScriptAccess = 'always'; }
catch(e) { return '6,0,0'; }
} catch(e) {}
return new ActiveXObject('ShockwaveFlash.ShockwaveFlash').GetVariable('$version').replace(/\D+/g, ',').match(/^,?(.+),?$/)[1];
// other browsers
} catch(e) {
try {
if(navigator.mimeTypes["application/x-shockwave-flash"].enabledPlugin){
return (navigator.plugins["Shockwave Flash 2.0"] || navigator.plugins["Shockwave Flash"]).description.replace(/\D+/g, ",").match(/^,?(.+),?$/)[1];
}
} catch(e) {}
}
return '0,0,0';
}

var version = getFlashVersion().split(',').shift();
if(version < 10){
alert("Lower than 10");
}else{
alert("10 or higher");
}
