how to detect browser & version in as3?

[kiran1989]

Hi Venkon,

You can use ExternalInterface.call("window.navigator.userAgent") with this u can detect the browser details.

[VenkatBaddi]

that is detected total like : Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 8.0; Windows NT 5.1; Trident/4.0; .NET CLR 2.0.50727;

but i want only like  MSIE 8.0

or

Firefox 11.0

Use this code

package

{

    import flash.display.Sprite;

    import flash.external.ExternalInterface;

    import flash.events.MouseEvent;

    import fl.transitions.Tween;

    import fl.motion.easing.Elastic;

    public class Main extends Sprite

    {

        private var userAgent:String;

        public function Main():void

        {

            more.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, showFull);

            browserTxt.text = getUserAgent();

        }

        private function getUserAgent():String

        {

            try

            {

                userAgent = ExternalInterface.call("window.navigator.userAgent.toString");

                var browser:String = "[Unknown Browser]";

                if (userAgent.indexOf("Safari") != -1)

                {

                    browser = "Safari";

                }

                if (userAgent.indexOf("Firefox") != -1)

                {

                    browser = "Firefox";

                }

                if (userAgent.indexOf("Chrome") != -1)

                {

                    browser = "Chrome";

                }

                if (userAgent.indexOf("MSIE") != -1)

                {

                    browser = "Internet Explorer";

                }

                if (userAgent.indexOf("Opera") != -1)

                {

                    browser = "Opera";

                }

            }

            catch (e:Error)

            {

                //could not access ExternalInterface in containing page

                return "[No ExternalInterface]";

            }

            return browser;

        }

        private function showFull(e:MouseEvent):void

        {

            info.fullInfo.text = userAgent;

            var tween:Tween = new Tween(info,"y",Elastic.easeOut,info.y-10,180,0.5,true);

        }

    }

}

place a textfield on stage with instance browserTxt and a button with instance more and movieclip with instance info inside movieclip place a textfield with instance fullInfo. Test it
