flash plug-in check

[Zester]

is there a 100% bullet proof flash plug-in check?
something that can absolutely assure that the surfer can see flash without a problem?

the more I google for it the more I find that a cross browser check like this is near impossible.

I need something that is either PHP of javascript based.

this seems to work with the few browsers (IE 6 and firefox) I tried:

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=JavaScript1.1>
<!--
var MM_contentVersion = 6;
var plugin = (navigator.mimeTypes && navigator.mimeTypes["application/x-shockwave-flash"]) ? navigator.mimeTypes["application/x-shockwave-flash"].enabledPlugin : 0;
if ( plugin ) {
		var words = navigator.plugins["Shockwave Flash"].description.split(" ");
	    for (var i = 0; i < words.length; ++i)
	    {
		if (isNaN(parseInt(words[i])))
		continue;
		var MM_PluginVersion = words[i]; 
	    }
	var MM_FlashCanPlay = MM_PluginVersion >= MM_contentVersion;
}

if ( MM_FlashCanPlay ) {
	alert("flash detected");
} else{
	alert("no flash detected");
}
//-->
</SCRIPT>
