Subject: RE: FLASH: Platform / version sniffer that will also work in Flash 4 player I Really need this to work

Ok, I have got this to work in the Flash 4 player...this code was written in

Flash 4, but the Tell target is still not working.

Before anyone says that that there must be a targeting error, don't, there
are no other moviclips on the stage and the instance name is correct.

Set Variable: "playerVersion" = eval ("$version")
If (Substring(playerVersion,0,1) ="W")
Begin Tell Target ("/platforrm")
Go to and Play ("windows")
End Tell Target
Else If (Substring(playerVersion,0,1) ="M")
Begin Tell Target ("/platforrm")
Go to and Play ("apple")
End Tell Target
End If



Anyone got any ideas?

4 player I Really need this to work
Importance: High



Simple passing of string to tell target what to do isn't working!

I am try to use the "$version" command (which does work in both F4 & F5) to
"sniff" what platform and what version of Flash player they are using. Once
this has been found out the appropriate icon is displayed...simple in
theory..but it won't work with the F4 player, but works fine with F5
player!!


if(subString($version,0,1)== "M"){
tellTarget (clip) {
gotoAndStop("apple");
}
} else if(subString($version,0,1) == "W"){
tellTarget(clip){
gotoAndStop("pc");
}}




But I really need this or something like this to work in F4 player


Anyone got any suggestions?



Thanks


George.



I have tried to create a similar scipt in F4:

Set Variable: "os" = "$version"
If (Substring(os,0,1) =" W")
Begin Tell Target ("/platforrm")
Go to and Play ("windows")
End Tell Target
Else If (Substring(os,0,1) =" M")
Begin Tell Target ("/platforrm")
Go to and Play ("apple")
End Tell Target
End If


But I can't seem to enter $version as an action even though I have seen this
done on: http://www.flashbrothers.com/vers/
