| capabilities.manufacturer Property | Flash 6 |
| indicates the manufacturer of the Flash Player | read/write |
The string manufacturer property indicates the name of the organization that created the Flash Player. Third parties can license Macromedia's Flash Player source code and port the Player to new platforms or devices. Developers of ported or custom Players can provide a custom value for the manufacturer property. For the desktop version of the Flash Player, the only values are "Macromedia Windows" and "Macromedia Macintosh". Do not rely on manufacturer to provide operating system or version information. Use capabilities.os and capabilities.version instead.
The manufacturer property can be used to react to special support for custom capabilities implemented by a specific Player manufacturer.
For further information, see:
The corresponding server string for manufacturer is M, with values determined by individual manufacturers. See capabilities.serverString for details.
