The best way is to have a small flash loaded with the version you need them to have (using a feature unique to that version) then tell them if they can't see the flash they have to download a new version. Everything else is unreliable at best. -- -=tn=- |

Since I don't use flash, I can't say for sure, but it would seem to me that if you have the spalsh page set to load the non-flash index page after say 5 seconds, then have it run a flash ?script? that loads the flash enabled index page. If the flash doesn't run, then after the timeout the non-flash page will load. If it does, then the flash page loads. Something like this. (I am sure a few people will jump in and correct me, so just wait a bit and you should have some useable code.) <html> <head> <meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="5;url=http://www.example.com/noflash/index.html"> <title>My Splash Page</title> </head> <body> <h1>My Splash Page</h1> <p>Please wait while we determine if you need the flash or non-flash version of the site.</p> <!-- FLASH CODE FlashCommand - Load("www.example.com/flash/index.html") END FLASH CODE --> </body> </html> |

Just do something like: <object data="flashcontent" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" height="240" width="320"> <p><abbr title="Hypertext Markup Language">HTML</abbr> content.</p> </object> -- Toby A Inkster BSc (Hons) ARCS Contact Me ~ http://tobyinkster.co.uk/contact |

If the visitor has Flash but the wrong version it will load yet it will not work. Flash is backwards compatible with compatible features. For example if you use the tree component from flash mx2004, and your user has Flash mx installed, everything BUT the tree component works. This is why that non-embed code for flash that pops up here every now and then (allspice or something?) doesn't cut it. I believe they even discuss that as one of the issues with their solution on their web page. Now one can, in their flash movie, check the users version and let them know they have the wrong version. I believe Macromedia uses that method on their site and suggests others do too. I believe they compile a flash movie for flash 2, then check the player version to see if it the version they need to run the "real" movie. As a side note, Flash is best used on website where people EXPECT flash. (kids sites, intranet, movie sites, web applications, game sites, entertainment sites, etc...) places where people go to have fun or play games, or want more than text and images. It is NOT for most other sites (especially if the site is dependent on Flash.) -- -=tn=- |

I prefer Macromedia's idea, personally. -- Mark Parnell http://www.clarkecomputers.com.au |

I agree. What I meant was that I preferred Macromedia's solution to that specific problem. The rest of the article is great advice. -- Mark Parnell http://www.clarkecomputers.com.au |

It would be nice if they provided a sample c.swf for us to download and use though. Other than the cute streaming method, my method is better. If you require a very recent version of Flash, then include the codebase attribute for IE using conditional comments. -- Toby A Inkster BSc (Hons) ARCS Contact Me ~ http://tobyinkster.co.uk/contact |
