Information about Internet Explorer for Windows Mobile
We recently found out that the Adobe Flash player 7 for Pocket PC supports a direct call into the player by an activeX object via JavaScript. This opens up a direct way for websites to verify if IE Mobile browsers have Adobe Flash installed and even its version.
The activeX object only takes two lines of code. See example below.
<html>
<head>
<title>Flash Alert</title>
</head>
<body>
<script language=javascript>
axo = new ActiveXObject("ShockwaveFlash.ShockwaveFlash");
axo.GetVariable("$version");
alert(axo.GetVariable("$version"));
</body>
</html>
