Shockwave Plugin Detector
Plugin Version Precision
The precision of the detected Shockwave version will vary between browsers. The reason for this discrepancy is that the amount of information available to PluginDetect varies between browsers and operating systems.
The plugin version is detected by PluginDetect.getVersion('Shockwave'). The getVersion() method will return a value of either null or a string of 4 numbers "A,B,C,D" separated by a comma. Each of these 4 numbers is an integer >=0.
For most browsers, only the first 2 numbers "A,B" are detectable, giving us a format of "A,B,0,0".
All 4 numbers "A,B,C,D" may be detected in Internet Explorer and possibly Firefox 3.6+, but only when conditions allow.
