Getting Computer information using Flash

Question

Is it possible to retrieve computer information (RAM, hard drive size, cpu speed, etc.) using Adobe Flash? If so, can someone point me to a web site showing me how?

Answer 1

I don't think you can get RAM, hard disk size, or clock speed — Flash runs in a virtual machine, and it's probably set up to only give you information that pertains to its little world.

You can get a lot of other client information, such as how much RAM Flash is using, screen resolution, and whether the client has audio support. Check out the System and Capabilities classes.
