Stage3D driver detection feature #11

Open ricovitch opened 8 years ago

As discussed in this issue : #7 This could be very useful to add a feature for stage3d support/driver detection.

There is no standard/easy way of doing that in JS or on a diagnostic page.

Adobe maintains a flash module at the bottom of this page : https://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/stage3d-unsupported-chipsets-drivers-flash.html

agreed, but we need to be careful about the scope

the general idea is to detect the flash plugin presence, which can extend to detect a particular version, which can extend to detect a particular 3D driver support, etc.

all that is good as it is in scope of "detecting Flash for a good user experience"
