A while back I posted this entry showing off my first Google Gadget that embedded a swf for Flash Player version detection.

Recently someone posted a comment asking how I did that. I figured I might as well post the code. So here it is:

<modulePrefs title="Flash Version Checker" height="295" width="760" scrolling="false"
-
description="Uses the swf from Adobe Support Technote: http://www.adobe.com/go/tn_15507 to detect version of Flash Player used in your browser."

author_aboutme="I work for Adobe Systems Inc. as a Senior Support Engineer for the Flex product line. I have sort of followed an odd career path in what would typically be a reverse order, having started as a Software Developer/Engineer, moving on to become a Software Quality(Assurance/Control) Engineer and now ending up a Software Support Engineer. I think I have found a good fit as I have always been good at discovering problems, understanding other peoples issues and proposing new (or tried and true) methods for solving them."
