Flash Detection

I noticed business started to drop after I put up my new Flash 8 site.
I added a flash detection script for users with outdated flash and it worked fine. Checked it on my psp and it went straight to my "update your flash player" page. But, I found out that on pc's without flash player 8, it doesn't go to the update flash page. Instead it goes to the index page and displays a blank screen. Anyone know what's going on? Why would the detection script work on my psp but not on a pc? This really sucks.
Now I'm just going to have a simple one page html portfolio instead of my fancy flash 8 site.

you sure the PC and browser you looked on had javascript?

I had two different people try it on their own pc's. I used the swf object for the flash detection. http://blog.deconcept.com/swfobj…
I guess I should just use an html entry page that states flash player 8 is needed. Unless there's another way to let users know that they need to update.

So basically my site only works on my computer. It's back to the drawing board with a Flash Player 6 or html site.

the redirect attrivute is the only attribute using ' all of the others use " for the strings - its worth a try

I only get a blank page (PC-IE-FP9).
I always use FlashObject. By far the best and easiest detect script i've come across.

(Jul 5 06, 08:51)That's the exact script that I used. For some reason it isn't working on most pc's though. I just got an email from someone who checked out my site requesting services and guess what- he's on a mac.

this line:
so.setAttribute('redirectUrl', 'upgradeFlash.html');
try it like this
so.setAttribute("redirectUrl", "upgradeFlash.html");

Thanks. Hopefully that works but I still think I'm going to redesign my site to target flash player 6 or 7.
