Hm, in Windows can't you just right-click on a Flash animation? Then the context menu should say something like "About Adobe Flash player 9".

Yes, you can. It takes to to a detection script at Adobe that tells you the exact number (that I guess can be wrong judging from the above). What I mean is there should be an easy way so one could just look it up.

There must be a good comeback line for that . . . something along the lines of re-install your software, edit the registry, or look in the Start menu . . .



I just can't think of it right now ohmy.gif
