Sort your detection scripts out!

With Flash Player 10 installs up to 65%, it's high time you reviewed your embed code and detection scripts to be sure you aren't excluding people. I've already been to a number of sites that won't let me in, because I don't have Flash Player 9; no, I've got Flash Player 10 thank you. This player is almost ready for a full public release by Adobe, so please don't be one of these people who gets caught with their trousers down when the boss asks why the stats for the site are dropping.

If you're using SWFObject, make sure you're detecting the version correctly, and take this opportunity to upgrade to 2.1

I'll give you all until the full public release of CS4/player 10 before I start posting links to guilty culprits!

Update 15th October 2008: Flash Player 10 is now on full public release, so time's up!
