Description
Per the documentation, this module requires the client to be using Flash 9 or 10. While this covers the majority of users, there are users with older versions of flash. In my case, when I tried the module on an IE client with Flash 6, the upload icon would not appear and no other message was presented to the user.
Adobe provides a toolkit for detecting the client's flash version here:

This is a request to enhance the module to provide additional detection of flash and providing a cleaner message to the user if they don't have a version high enough to work with image_fupload.
Comments and thoughts?

Can I request that the module fall back gracefully in the case where the user does not have flash to still allow single image upload. Installing this module makes your site unusable if the user does not have flash.
