how to replace flash with image on iphone and ipads etc

[easydvd87]

Hello.
I have a website and I use flash for my header, and once on my homepage too.


On my iphone it doesnt play flash and it just leaves a white square and looks bad.
I heard you can replace flash with a picture when there is no flash..

Here is my code:

<tr valign=top>
<td height=107 colspan="2" valign="top"><object classid="clsid27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,29,0" width="803" height="107">
<param name="movie" value="inner.swf">
<param name="quality" value="high">
<embed src="inner.swf" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="803" height="107"></embed></object></tr>

Where do I put the bit to show an image when there is no flash?

Thanks guys.

Providing alternate Flash content has been a "Best Practice" for many years now... way before the iPhone. One of the best methods is using swfobject for Flash detection.
http://code.google.com/p/swfobject/
The principle is very simple, provide both Flash as well as some alternate content. If the browser has a Flash pluggin.. the Flash is displayed, if not, the alternate content is displayed. This "alt content" can be used to help SEO because the alt content can be any type of regular HTML... images, text, lists, etc.
Here is an example:

View the source code to see how this works.
Using a mobi page will dilute the SEO of your main page, since the mobi version is a separate URL.

in OP's case, embed tag is alternative content, afaik OP, try using simpler code:

<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="inner.swf" width="803" height="107">
<param name="movie" value="inner.swf">
<img width="803" height="107" src="alt.jpg">
</object>
