swfobject is only 6.7kb... it doesn't get much lighter than that.
if you *really* need something smaller (which sounds like a
ridiculous need to me) you could take the plugin detection code from
swfobject out and just use that. that would chop the size down to
about 1/4 of the full size, and you could still use the version
detection stuff. you would then have to rewrite the embed code,
though, and that would push your file size back up anyway.

really is no simple Javascript way to do this?

Maybe you could use swfobject (pretty much industry standard
detection
script), and then pass in the RequiredVersion var of 0?

Yes, but I don't want my scripts to HAVE version detection for the
users who
do have the Flash player, because we always know what to build
for and
what
version the user will have. Since the detection script gets copied
all over
the place, I don't want to update those scripts to account for newer
Flash
players when we push out newer versions.

if they dont have flash player, then they won't have the required
version
number anyway, so wouldn't the version detection scripts still
work?

Might be a dumb and simple answer, but is there any way to simply
detect
the presence of the Flash player in IE WITHOUT also checking
for a
specific version number (IE detection only is required, not other
browsers)? The Javascript detection scripts I've seen always
check
for
say Flash 7 or 8, but not for just Flash.
Reason is: In our case, all of our user base either has the Flash
player
installed of a specific common version enterprise wide, or not at
all.
I'd like a script that does not check for versions, or multiple
versions, so we don't have to update the detection script when
the
enterprise pushes out a new player version to the user base. Our
detection scripts in HTML files get pushed out and copied several
times
over to different web sites, so I don't want to have to update
all
of
those later when new version of Flash get pushed out.
It's probably quite simple with Javascript, I just don't have
much
time
to research it today. Thanks!
