Yes - this is done with a shim.swf - it is quite simple
You create a shim ( 5x5 or 1 x 1 example) swf movie with a
GetURL("http://redirecthere.com";) action in it.On the page you set a meta tag <META HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh" CONTENT="10; URL=sendmeHere.html"> The shim movie is tiny so won't effect any design, and can be placed anywhere - and it certainly will load faster than 10 seconds and forward people to a flash enabled page - if that doesn't happen - the meta tag takes place. So if flash is present - the action happens prior to the meta. jay miller P.S. - not fool proof or ideal for all situations. Also - becomes a bit more complicated for sub version checking Ben Doom wrote: > I know that in the past, my boss has written a Flash detector in Flash/HTML. > > Basically, if Flash is installed, it goes to one URL (and I suppose could > pass the version).
