Flash embedded in HTML question.
 

Let's say I have a paysite with a BIG ass animated gif on the table. Now, if I was to change that to a clearer, faster and smaller flash file, life would be dandy.. right?

Now, a retarded surfer without flash comes to my site, and he gets a pop-up saying he should install flash. HOW DO I AVOID THAT? Like, if the person doesn't have flash the section where the flash was embedded is empty, and background is only visible.. no pop-ups asking to install anything.

can this be done?

Bastards, answer me!

sorry, still thinking...

hi, we're talking on ICQ

Yes.

Go to your publish settings. On the HTML tab, use the "Flash Only" template. I think that removes the Flash Detect code.

But honestly...is there a surfer left alive without Flash installed...that you actually CARE about? :glugglug

so what is the verdict?



I'd imagine that it would be best to publish the flash for v5

I think something like 96% that surf the web have v5 installed.. Macromedia has stats on their site somewhere..

I think there are no browsers left which do not support flash by default and need it to be downloaded.
If you really care about that 0.0000000001% of users you can put JS on our page which will detect version of the browser and redirect user to the page with a gif instead of flash.
Trust me you don?t need to bother about it.
