How would you do this? Browser detection?

The code on my site looks like this:
<!-- Aftershock spike.swf 3=130 4=95 5 43 7=550 8=400 -->
<object classid="clsid :D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"
codebase="http://active.macromedia.com/flash2/cabs/swflash.cab#version=3,0,0,0"
id=spike width=130 height=95>
<param name=movie value="Flash/spike.swf">
<param name=quality value=autohigh>
<param name=bgcolor value=#000000>
<script language=JavaScript>
<!--
var ShockMode = 0;
if (navigator.mimeTypes && navigator.mimeTypes["application/x-shockwave-flash"] && navigator.mimeTypes["application/x-shockwave-flash"].enabledPlugin) {
if (navigator.plugins && navigator.plugins["Shockwave Flash"])
ShockMode = 1;
}
if ( ShockMode ) {
document.write('<EMBED SRC="Flash/spike.swf"');
document.write(' swLiveConnect=FALSE WIDTH=130 HEIGHT=95');
document.write(' QUALITY=autohigh BGCOLOR=#000000');
document.write(' TYPE="application/x-shockwave-flash" PLUGINSPAGE="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash">');
document.write('</EMBED>');
} else if (!(navigator.appName && navigator.appName.indexOf("Netscape")>=0 && navigator.appVersion.indexOf("2.")>=0)){
document.write('<IMG SRC="Flash/spike.gif" WIDTH=550 HEIGHT=400 BORDER=0>');
}
//-->
</script><noembed>
<img src="../../Program Files/Macromedia/Flash 3/spike.gif" width=550 height=400 border=0></NOEMBED><noscript><img src="Flash/spike.gif" width=550 height=400 border=0></noscript>
</object>
<!-- EndAftershock spike.swf -->
