How to tell if Flash AS3 is running in desktop or mobile browser

I am developing a full-Flash site (Player 10.2).

I need to know at runtime if code is running on a desktop/mouse computer or a mobile/touch device, so that I can differentiate the input mechanism.

Is this by any means possible?

You could check to see if the device has accelerometer support. If so, you know it's a mobile device. I dont know exactly what it is you would like to do so I dont know if this will work well for your project. It will distinguish mobile from desktop, though.

if(Accelerometer.isSupported){
    //mobile device
    //os still unknown
else{
    //desktop or laptop
    //os still unknown
}
