It's been a while since I have done it but I believe Flash will insert the code into a website to prompt a user to download it if they don't have it installed. I would find it hard to believe though is a user is not using a browser that has Flash already built in since new versions of IE and NS.
I think it's a good idea to do only an html version of a page if your Flash page has alot of animation and music that some dial up users may not have time to download. Personally I *hate* making two versions of pages. It's always been one thing or the other, A Frames and no frams page, and IE and NS, etc. etc. I found a site the other day that I have been messing around with. Some very cool stuff on there. http://www.flashthief.com/ ~ Dan -----Original Message----- From: Stephenie Hamilton [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, January 29, 2002 12:37 PM To: CF-Community Subject: Flash detection - is it necessary OK, so i decided to jump into the world of flash creation. I am almost ready to put up my new site with flash in it and was wondering what you all do for flash detection? Is it necessary? Do most newer browsers come with flash? Do you build an html version also just in case the user doesn't want to see the flash site? I am not making anything terribly spectacular, just redoing the menu system, case study etc. It is a very small file size actually so i am wondering if i even need to provide an html alternative... thoughts? ~~ Stephenie ______________________________________________________________________ Your ad could be here.
