document.write buggy?

Question

Something wrong with the code? I could print Hello on HTML but when I add to getPlayerVersion, the whole string doesn't print. What could be problem be? Leaving me feeling frustrated.

<script type="text/javascript">
document.write("Hello"+deconcept.SWFObjectUtil.getPlayerVersion().major);
</script>

Answer 1

It's likely that one of the properties you are referring to doesn't exist. Try debugging by starting from "Hello" + deconcept, then "Hello" + deconcept.SWFObjectUtil, etc.

Answer 2

I think you've established that document.write isn't the problem, seeing as it already worked without getPlayerVersion....

Check your browser's error console. Or, possibly:

<script>
    try {
        document.write("Hello"+deconcept.SWFObjectUtil.getPlayerVersion().major);
    } catch(e) {
        alert(e.message);
    } 
</script>

This will hopefully give you a better idea of whatever exception is being thrown.

Answer 3

Try combining "major" with "minor" and "release" to get the complete version signature of Flash.

    document.write("Major: "+deconcept.SWFObjectUtil.getPlayerVersion().major);
    document.write("<br />Minor: "+deconcept.SWFObjectUtil.getPlayerVersion().minor);
    document.write("<br />Release: "+deconcept.SWFObjectUtil.getPlayerVersion().release);
