Hi again,
Just an addition in case anyone else needs to do this: I found that
making an extra CSS-layer with nothing but position:absolute and a
link to get past the intro is enough. Viewers who have flash won't be
able to see it if the flash-object has 100% width and height, and
others will only

I'm not here to bash Flash - used properly, I'm a big fan.
My concern when I developed the JavaScript detection method we use was
to find a way that would work seamlessly as expected without nagging
the user in as many different situations and browsers as possible -

Hi all,
Personally, I would never use Flash anywhere on a website, but
unfortunately I have a costumer who forces me to.
I'm recoding a site that was originally made with Frontpage (don't
