Flash Troubles

    Hello,

    I have recently put together a flash site and thought everything was running smooth. I of course didn't take into account computers or browsers that don't support flash. So when someone with that problem goes to my site they get an error " FAIL (the browser should render some flash content, not this)." And then of course they can't see anything on my site!

    Is there a way to have it so when someone visits the site that if they aren't flash supported it would automatically go to a non flash version? Or is my only hope bringing each visitor to a splash page asking if they want Flash or Non Flash site? Is there any way to use an If statement in case the browser doesn't support flash?

    Thank you in advance for taking the time to help me out
    Regards,
    Brett

    the question your asking has bee nbugging a lot of people for awhile. There's no simple way apparently, as it would see them there should be. but there are people trying to find work arounds and hacks in the <object> tags of Flahs etc ..check out this site , I dont know if he was ever completely successful with that attempt, but its where many that were tyring to do what you want to do ..were all workin to try to find a way around it .
