Get the environment of the player

// Get player type
// Non-IE: "PlugIn"
// IE: "ActiveX"
environment.playerType = Capabilities.playerType;

// Get's the current domain
var lc:LocalConnection = new LocalConnection();
environment.domain = lc.domain;

// Get the player’s version by using the flash.system.Capabilities class.
environment.fullVersion = Capabilities.version;

// The version number is a list of items divided by “,”
var versionArray:Array = environment.fullVersion.full.split(",");
var length:Number = versionArray.length;

// The main version contains the OS type too so we split it in two
// and we’ll have the OS type and the major version number separately.
var platformAndVersion:Array = versionArray[0].split(" ");
environment.platform = platformAndVersion[0];

environment.majorVersion = parseInt(platformAndVersion[1]);
