Detecting the flash player version

If a user is using a browser with a flash player that is not upgraded, we can show him a message to upgrade his flash player.... using the swfobject javascript.

The below code can show the upgrade message over the video, which is run using the jwplayer.

<html>
<head>
<script type='text/javascript' src='jwplayer.js'></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="swfobject.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="video_player"></div>
<script type="text/javascript">
    var so = new SWFObject('player.swf','flashContent','280','240','11');
    so.useExpressInstall('expressInstall.swf');
    so.addParam('allowfullscreen','true');
    so.addParam('allowscriptaccess','always');
    so.addParam('bgcolor','#FFFFFF');
    so.addParam('allowfullscreen','true');
    so.addParam('flashvars','file=test.flv&image=images/test.jpg&autostart=false&icons=false&stretching=fill');
    so.write('video_player');
</script>
</body>
</html>

Note: You need the file: 'expressInstall.swf' to show the upgrade flash message.

I have set the option "validate form" to "No" under chronoform settings in admin panel, and also preferred to not include any js or css files. For validating the chrono forms, i prefer jquery. So first lets add jquery support in our joomla. It is quite simple: 1. Download jquery.js and jquery_min.js (1.4.2 version is enough) and place them in media/system/js folder of your joomla. 2. Edit libraries->joomla->html->html->behavior.php, and add the following function below the mootools() function: function jQuery($debug = null)     {         static $loaded;         global $mainframe;         // Only load once         if ($loaded) {    ...
