FLASH: Flash Banners

[Brian Mays]

I've been scouring the manual and looking for tutorials, but I can't seem to

find an answer to my problem.


We've created a Flash banner at work (our first one) and we're concerned about

the people who don't have the Flash plug-in.  We used Flash 4 and used the

Publish option to also create an animated gif as an alternative.  (The results

were unsatisfactory, and due to time constraints we took screen shots of the

Flash banner and ran them through Imageready to optimize them...more control

over which colors dropped out.)


What I've not been able to find anywhere is how to tell the user's browser to

call up the animated gif if no Flash plugin is found.  We don't want the

customer paying for empty page impressions with broken links because there is

no plugin. 


I've read many articles on how to do this for a SITE, but this is a BANNER

placed on an HTML site.  


Any help here would be most appreciated.
