Thanks for the replies all.  I think this got a bit off topic as to what 
I was asking for.  I mainly posted this topic due to the fact that 
Microsoft defaults 64-bit OS to use the 64-bit IE browser and the 64bit 
IE browser has no support for flash at all.

Adobe issued a statement that they are trying to add something post 
flash 10 to deal with this issue.

Therefore, I just wanted to know what type of "notifications" people use 
in their rails projects when they want to alert a visitor to a 
requirement.

If I have a requirement that needs to be met on my site, javascript, 
flash, etc.  what should I do to alert the visitor?  I could possibly 
just put some type of detection+redirect mechanism in place that renders 
a notification.  I could use a rails flash notification.  Or, I could 
put a disclaimer in certain areas of my site.

Again, Flash isn't necessary to "browse" my site.  But, it is required 
for the interactive portions of my site.  The head-2-head matchups I 
provide are interactive flash and while the data and information is 
non-flash (there is content there).

I suppose I could create images with the exact same size as the 
interactive flash and do a replace when a user can't use flash.

Maybe I answered my own question - replace the flash with (flash || 
images) depending on what the user can see using swfobject..

I'd still like to put some type of disclaimer up for certain interactive 
portions - would flash notification messages be right for this?  Or, 
would you recommend another notification system?
