Flash Statistics update

May 182006
 

Nearly two month ago I published my Flash Stats Engine, now here are the result I get from it and the use of other stats engine. Data was gathered from more than 6000 different IP. On system that did already have Flash Player 7 installed and javascript enabled, this is the first bias. The second bias is the « kind of people » surfing on this site may be more up to date than average people on the web.

Flash Player & Javascript :

  • 90% of the user with have a version equal or bigger than 8.
  • 99% of user had javascript enabled.

    • Screens:

  • Most of the users (nearly 60%) have a screen resolution in X bigger or equal to 1280 px.
  • Most of the users (nearly 55%) have a screen resolution in Y bigger than 600 px but smaller than 1024. But 47% have a screen resolution in Y bigger than 1024.
  • Nearly 100% of users have a 72 DPI screen.
  • Only 1% of users have a resolution equal to 800×600.

    Another Flash Player Penetration Statistic

    Feb 082006
     

    The first pre-result are out from my stats counter:

  • 87% have a Flash Player 8 (!)
  • 98% have a monitor DPI = 72
  • 55% have a resolution bigger or equal to 1280px
  • 56% have a resolution bigger or equal to 600px and under 1024px
  • 54% have accessibility on

    • 87% of Flash Player is quite impressive, but this stats is done with a Flash 7 swf, so all web user who don’t have FP7 won’t be include in the database.
    I’ll soon (when my exams end) make a stat of the different FP who come on my site.

    Macromedia Flash Player Version Penetration

    Still the same question for me, what about the Flash Player Penetration ?
    Macromedia give a response here. But I didn’t found any other website giving information about it. It’s not that I don’t trust Macromedia nor Adobe, but i would like to have other source than them. Here are more information about their methodology :

    2,000 participants, comprising a representative Internet sample responded to this survey. The study was evaluated at a 95% significance confidence level, (5% risk).[...]

    The actual statistic that I got are not so much trustable because to few people come on my website, and this statistic is far to young to be interpretable anyway.
