FLASH: Flash 3 and aol

[Dave Dufour]

I'm using flash 3 and I have I movie on a page that tests for plug-in

presence then redirects to a static page for those without it.  I got some

reports that the page seems to be hanging the browser for AOL users, which

makes me think we're dealing with older AOL versions that don't have the

plug-in, but for which the sniffer isn't working accurately. Here's the

code, generated by AfterShock, basically, that is in the page now.  Can

anybody tell me if there's anything wrong with this?


!-- Aftershock TLOPENER.swf 3=600 4=400 18 -->

<OBJECT classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"

  ShockMode = 1;

}

if ( ShockMode ) {

 document.write('<EMBED SRC="TLOPENER.swf"');

 document.write(' swLiveConnect=FALSE WIDTH=600 HEIGHT=400');

 document.write(' LOOP=false QUALITY=autohigh BGCOLOR=#FFFFFF');

 document.write(' TYPE="application/x-shockwave-flash"

 document.write('</EMBED>');

} else if (!(navigator.appName && navigator.appName.indexOf("Netscape")>=0

&& navigator.appVersion.indexOf("2.")>=0)){

 window.location = "indx2.asp";

}
