As3: Checking if javascript disabled/enabled

Before using External Interface to call scripts within the wrapping html, its recommended to make sure the swf is nor running outside of a browser or that js is truely available.
ExternalInterface.available returns if flash is capable of using the browers external scripting engine – it will not however determing if JS has been disabled in the browser.

Here’s a quicky little function that will:

function JSAvailable():Boolean {

    if (ExternalInterface.available) {
        if (ExternalInterface.call("Function(\"return true;\")")) {
            return true;
        }
    }           

    return false;

}
