That's because they either:

a) check navigator.mimeTypes[] for the type
'application/x-shockwave-flash'

b) use a badly designed flash file to redirect
the page

c) do some freakish Internet Explorer check
that no other browser would support (like
using ActiveX or scripting in VBScript)

a and b can be fixed by implementing that part
of the DOM (it isn't yet) and making those flash
files work. c can't be fixed.

^^ this uses method b) which as it happens
is NOT spoofable. You can't fake loading a
flash file and running the contents.

Which would be useless, if you have the Flash
plugin then it broadcasts it's presence as far
as possible. Granted, navigator.mimeTypes[]
should be implemented for greater compatibility.

Explain, elaborate..

The Javascript engine doesn't need "fixing", it
just needs filling out.
