What I'm trying to do is find a way which will confidently display a GIF
image if the user does not have Flash, without prompting them to download,
install, etc... is there any REAL way to do this with the embed/object code
and/or javascripting? Why are we given the choice to publish as "Flash 4
with image" if we're always going to be asking the user to download the
plugin? I don't get it.

That's a feature of IE only.
Why don't you do the opposite. Load the image page
(even though I preffer to author a full fledge HTML
page with a proper link to download) and if the user
has a Flash plugin, point them to the Flash page, if
not just stay on the first page.
