sooo ... I have an html page with a couple of swf's on it. Will a visitor see a gaping hole where the swf is suppose to be? ... or will they see nothing at all?
Thanks!

N' then I might just
Jump back on
An' ride
Like a cowboy
Into the dawn
........To Montana.
a big hole.
But, if you stick code like this (see below)as the last entry within the <object></object> tags, you should be able to put in an image.
the code -
..................................................
<NOEMBED>
<img src="mazda2.gif" width=600 height=440 border=0></NOEMBED>
.................................................. .....
like this -
(this is the code produced when you choose the 'copy HTML to clipboard' export option) THE INSERTED CODE IS BOLD AT THE BOTTOM
<OBJECT classid="clsid 27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"
codebase="http://active.macromedia.com/flash2/cabs/swflash.cab#version=4,0,0,0"
id=Movie1 width=600 height=440>
<PARAM name=movie value="Mazda2.swf">
<PARAM name=quality value=high>
<PARAM name=bgcolor value="#000000">
<EMBED name="Mazda2" src="Mazda2.swf"
quality=high bgcolor="#000000"
width=600 height=440
type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash">
</EMBED>
<NOEMBED>
<img src="mazda2.gif" width=600 height=440 border=0></NOEMBED>
</OBJECT>
hope that helps,

Great idea David! I had never thought about what I could put there in that event! Creating gif as I speak.. er.. type.

Hey Vacman, small hint, just post a reply, not a reply with quotes. Scroll forever to read your one line answers.

Excellent! That's exactly what I was looking to do!
Thanks David

Ddunn, you might want to include an alt=your description of graphic for those with graphics turned off.
-
Thanks Doug! Could you give me an example of what you might say? (graphic goes here ?) I understand the 'alt=' and know how to enter the html .. I've never turned off my graphics, so I don't know what I'd see in their places. I'm looking at IE now to see where to turn them off.
Many thanks ... I appreciate it.

Say your site is about new cars and your graphic is a new mercedes.
alt=mercedes sl 450
This will tell the user what the picture is. Also for reading impaired the text reader will pronounce it so they know what it is.
So what is being suggested is first your Swish movie for those with Flash Player working. Graphic for those without Flash Player working and text explanation for those with sight impairment or graphics off.
Almost forgot, another little side benefit. When you place your cursor over the graphic you get the "mercedes sl 450" just like a tool tip.

Ahh ... ok ... simple enuff ... just a desc of the graphic. Thanks
David ... one of the swf's is my menu. My old 'non-swf' menu contained simple roll-overs. Do you think it is possible to somehow revert to my old menu ... instead of a static graphic? Somehow I need to have a way for a visitor to get around in the site ... without having to create a whole new site for non-flash users.
Thanks again!
-
just put the entire menu code in the <noembed> tags.
-
Is it possible to put meta tags like <meta HTTP-EQUIV="refresh" content="1; URL=document.html">?

not in the <noembed> tag, you'd have to use
<script>
window.location = document.html;
</script>
instead, although there's a high chance that if flash isn't supported, javascript may not be, so that may not work.

The best detection of flash being present in a browser is by flash itself ... sounds impossible, but check my posting out some time ago:

Really useful discussion - learned a lot. Thanks.
Following on from the last post or so. Am I correct in thinking the <noembed> graphic could have hyperlink so it acts as a substitute navigation if the flash isn't available? If so, exactly where, and how, within the <noembed> code would it go?
Woops! Read too quickly and missed BewareIIs comment, which answers my question.
Again,
Thanks for help.

I challenge anyone to find a more proficient, and all-encompassing, script than this to display an image file if the user does not have the Flash plug-in. This code was developed by Macromedia and it functions properly on IE, NS, Opera, and the dreaded Mac.
*Change the bolded content to reflect your attributes.
---------------------------------------------
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=JavaScript>
<!--
var plugin = 0;
if (navigator.mimeTypes && navigator.mimeTypes["application/x-shockwave-flash"] && navigator.mimeTypes["application/x-shockwave-flash"].enabledPlugin) {
if (navigator.plugins && navigator.plugins["Shockwave Flash"])
plugin = 1;
}
else if (navigator.userAgent && navigator.userAgent.indexOf("MSIE")>=0
&& (navigator.userAgent.indexOf("Windows 95")>=0 || navigator.userAgent.indexOf("Windows 98")>=0 || navigator.userAgent.indexOf("Windows NT")>=0)) {
document.write('<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=VBScript\> \n');
document.write('on error resume next \n');
document.write('plugin = ( IsObject(CreateObject("ShockwaveFlash.ShockwaveFla sh.3")))\n');
document.write('if ( plugin <= 0 ) then plugin = ( IsObject(CreateObject("ShockwaveFlash.ShockwaveFla sh.4")))\n');
document.write('if ( plugin <= 0 ) then plugin = ( IsObject(CreateObject("ShockwaveFlash.ShockwaveFla sh.5")))\n');
document.write('</SCRIPT\> \n');
}
if ( plugin ) {
document.write('<OBJECT classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"');
document.write(' codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=3,0,0,0" ');

document.write(' </EMBED>');
document.write(' </OBJECT>');
} else if (!(navigator.appName && navigator.appName.indexOf("Netscape")>=0 && navigator.appVersion.indexOf("2.")>=0)){
document.write('<IMG SRC="Movie1.gif" WIDTH=585 HEIGHT=162 BORDER=0>');
}
//-->

If you need to test it, use this link that provides instructions on how to easily remove the flash plug-ins for each browser:
