 * MM_FlashInfo() -- construct an object representing Flash Player status

 * Constructor:

 *				(undefined if undetectable)
 *
 *	implementation		the form the player takes in this

 *

 * Methods:
 *
 *	canPlay(contentVersion)	true if installed player is capable of

 *
 * Description:
 *
 *	MM_FlashInfo() instantiates an object that contains as much
 *	information about Flash Player--whether it is installed, what
 *	version is installed, and so one--as is possible to collect.
 *
 *	Where Flash Player is implemented as a plug-in and the user's
 *	browser supports plug-in detection, all properties are defined;
 *	this includes Netscape on all platforms and Microsoft Internet
 *	Explorer 5 on the Macintosh.  Where Flash Player is implemented
 *	as an ActiveX control (MSIE on Windows), all properties except
 *	'revision' are defined.
 *
 *	Prior to version 5, Microsoft Internet Explorer on the Macintosh
 *	did not support plug-in detection.  In this case, no properties
 *	are defined, unless the cookie 'MM_FlashDetectedSelf' has been
 *	set, in which case all properties except 'version' and 'revision'
 *	are set.
 *
 *	This object is primarily meant for use by MM_FlashDispatch(), but
 *	may be of use in reporting the player version, etc. to the user.

 *
 * Description:
 *
 *	MM_FlashDispatch() detects whether the user's Web browser has the
 *	Flash plug-in or ActiveX control installed, and what version is
 *	installed if so. It then takes appropriate action based on whether
 *	Flash Player is installed and is compatible with 'contentVersion':
 *	load a document containing Flash content, load alternate content,
 *	or oversee the updating or installation of the player.
 *
 *	There are three possible outcomes of the detection process: 
 *
 *	    1. A version of Flash Player has been detected that is
 *	       suitable for playing the requested content version.
 *	       MM_FlashDispatch() will load 'contentURL'.
 *
 *	    2. An unsuitable version of Flash Player has been detected.
 *	       MM_FlashDispatch() will load 'contentURL' if automated
 *	       updating is supported on the user's browser & platform;
 *	       otherwise, it will load 'upgradeURL'.
 *
 *	    3. Flash Player is not installed.  If 'install' is set to
 *	       true, MM_FlashDispatch() will load 'contentURL' if the
 *	       user's browser supports automated installation; otherwise,
 *	       it will load 'installURL'.  If 'install' is false,
 *	       MM_FlashDispatch() will load 'altURL'.
 *
 *	When script-based detection of Flash Player is not possible,
 *	MM_FlashDispatch() attempts to load a Flash movie to carry out
 *	the detection. If Flash Player is not installed, there is presently
 *	no choice but to let the browser redirect the user via the
 *	PLUGINSPAGE attribute of the EMBED tag. In this case, 'install'
 *	is ignored, but setting 'overridePluginsPage' to true will
 *	set PLUGINSPAGE to 'installURL', overriding its default value
 *	(the URL for the Macromedia Flash download center). If this flag
 *	is set, 'installURL' must be absolute, not relative.
