The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

plug-in detection.

Asked by alanmcclure in Adobe Flash

I want a very specific answer to this question.  Not just a url.  And I would like to hear a few opinions.  I have created a site in flash 5, that contains actions not available in flash 4.  Therefore, I need to make sure that the browser has the flash 5 player installed.  Of course internet explorer automatically detects the need for the new player.  But not all netscape version do.  I need a detection system that will work with all 3.0 and above browsers, and will make sure that the user specifically has the flash 5 player before going to the flash content.  Now, I know of the normal sniffer, but this does not really work.  It does not really know which version of the flash player is reading it.  It just makes sure that there is a flash player and if not, refreshes to a new page.  Another way that I thought of is not possible either.  There is an action in flash 5 that checks the version of the flash player, but since this is not a flash 4 action, it cannot check to see which version.  The third way is javascript, which I am coming to feel is probably the best way.  I do not know how to do it though.  Obviously, the javascript would need to get the version of the player, and if it was the wrong version, would need to write to the document that the new player is needed.  I do not know of any other ways.  If someone knows of a better way, please explain in detail how it works, and why it is better.  If you think the javascript way is best, please explain the basics of it and then if you want, post a url.  Code would also be helpful.  By the way, I have dreamweaver if that makes a difference.  Please help me out here becasue I don't want anyone falling through the cracks, or viewing messed up animation.

Thanks,

Alan
