HOW DO I DISPLAY AN IMAGE IF FLASH IS NOT INSTALLED

[Pure Passion]

Hello All,

I have to create an ad to go on a major site and their requirments state:

* There should be a 'sniffer' program included in the flash file to check for the correct plug-in.

* If the user does not have the flash pug-in installed, a back up image should be provided and served in its place (all should be included whithin the flash file submitted)

Any help would be apriciated

Thanks

Andy

u cann't put it in a flash file, but u can put it in html file.
what i mean is put the image in html and put over it the flash movie.
if the guy has the flash plugin the movie will start
if not all they see is the picture

alotan's right... if you think about it, how can your flash module conditionally react to the existence of the flash plug-in? If the plug in exists, the flash module should play. If it doesn't exist, your module wouldn't load to detect the presence of the plug-in anyway.

It's kind of like a teacher taking attendance by saying, "If you're not here, raise your hand".

Apparently there is a way to include the image in the flash movie. I remember reading a tutorial on it. I will try to find it and I will post it!

if u find a tutorial it will probebly be the way i said becouse if the guy don't have flash it cann't PRESENT THE MOVIE, so the picture must be seperte from the movie and u do that by using layers in html

i find a soulotion if my first one isn't good
u can export the movie as animated gif
(goto export movie, not export image)
anumated gif is supported in every browser without plugin so u don't even have to put the picture in the back
