Preloader that Detects the Flash Version
Author: Ramsey Nasr

ActionScript (cont.):

Frame 1 ActionScript in detail:

stop( );                 Stops from moving across the timeline.
var test;                Creates a variable called 'test'
test = "4" + "4";        In Flash 5 ONLY this is used to contatinate string objects together
if(test == "44"){        If user has Flash 5 installed then this will be true.
                         In flash 5: "4" + "4" = "44";
                         In flash 4: "4" + "4" = "8"; (Flash 4 contatinates strings differently)
                         In flash 1,2,3; It will not make it this far
gotoAndStop("Passed");   Only if Flash 5 Actionscripting is detected will it go to
                         the frame labelled "Passed", otherwise the user will be stuck
                         on this page (index.html).
}                        Closes the 'if' block.

If the user is stuck on the 'index.html' page for at least 10sec (remember the meta tag above), it will forward them to our 'need_f.html' page that will notify the user to update their plugin AND it will even take them to the plugin page.
