Flash Version Info (free)
Commissioning or producing a flash viral? You'll need to know which version of the flash plugin to specify, otherwise people with older plugins won't be able to see your viral.
Our viral tracking reports the installed flash version for millions of unique views across our network. These handy free stats can help you plan your viral campaign.
Since July 2008 we have been recommending Flash 9.0. However, if you need to reach Linux users you may want consider deploying in Flash 8.
As of August 2008 we have begun seing Flash 10.0 player installations in our tracking stats. These are currently a tiny percentage of the total, but we expect to see this increase. Flash 10.0 stats will be reported once they are greater than 1% of total installations.
