Checking for Flash Player 75

6. Select the Always go to first URL if detection is not possible option.

When selected, this option effectively means "assume that the visitor

has the plug-in, unless the browser explicitly indicates that the plug-in

is not present." Because you add an alternate ad for visitors without the

plug-in, this option is preferable for this exercise. The following figure

shows the selections you have made up to this point to add Flash Player

detection.

Make these selections to add Flash Player detection in Dreamweaver using

a behavior.

7. Click OK. When you finish, Dreamweaver adds the following code to

the <body> tag:

<body id="container" onLoad="MM_checkPlugin('Shockwave

Flash','','noflash.html',true);return

document.MM_returnValue">

Save your changes to the document before you proceed to “Test the

application”.

You can also add Flash Player detection in Flash authoring if you aren't

using Dreamweaver. Go to the Publish Settings dialog box (File > Publish

Settings) and make sure that you select HTML in the Formats tab. Then

select the HTML tab, and select the Detect Flash Version option. Click

Settings next to the check box. You can set the target, content, and

alternate pages in this dialog box.

NOTE

You can find the finished files in the FlashBanner/Part3 file directory,

inside the finished folder.
