RE: FLASH: preview, publish, alternate GIF problems

[Ricardo Madrazo]

Thanks, Chad, but... my Flash movie is 120px by 120px and is embedded in a

table and surrounded by HTML content, so it's a hybrid page.  I don't want

to have to make two separate sites, I just want to reliably embed Flash and

display alternate GIF if there's no plugin.  I was able to do it with the

"Flash 4 with Image" export settings, except that IE4.5 on windows doesn't

read the plugin-detection javascript well.


If there are any clues, I'm wide open.

To ensure they get to the right place, the script below can be adapted.

Have it go to the GIF page if the user doesn't have the plugin, have it go

to the Flash enabled page if they do...
