Detect flash and alternate content

ok this is what i have so far, it show the flash file if flash is installed - minimum version 4, can redirect if set to true, but as you may have noticed ;) its rather long, what id like to be able to do is slap it in an external .js file and link to it from the html, how can i do this, im not master of javascript, i just dont seem to be able to create a javascript file for all this?

any help is appreciated!
