The recommended way to do this is simply expose a property on the plugin 
(via NPRuntime scripting) which you can check. It's also a good 
practice, if the site needs to know when a plugin is activated, to 
provide a callback API, for example:

<script>
function pluginInstantiated(pluginElement)
{
   // Because we pass instantiated="pluginInstantiated" below, this 
function will be called when the plugin is set up
}
</script>

<embed type="application/x-myplugin" createdcallback="pluginInstantiated">

You can do this with Flash using the externalInterface API.
