Flash Version Detection

This is my first flash. It’s very simple and small: Display your flash plugin version. I do this for myself. When installing a new OS, I need a small flash to test whether the flash plugin is installed correctly. It’d be better if it displays the flash plugin version. I tried to find one, but the only one I found on the Macromedia website is too large (66,468 bytes). Finally I decided to make one myself. It took me several days.

This flash is 2,396 bytes. It is made with Macromedia Flash MX 2004 Trial. It can detect Flash version 3 and above.
