Hello webmasters...

I have a small box I left for images. Now, my first priority is to use Flash to have the files fade in/out. The second priority is to run another script (for the no flash users).

Is there any good script who can execute a flash program (if flash detected) or else using another script?

Thanks for any help...

Cdx.

While I am waiting for answer, I found a solution...
http://www.johngaltstools.com/learn/fp/a003.asp

-Gives a nice choice between flash movie or alternate content.

I have another question... Is it better to run the script in the /head tags instand of external file?

Great, I just found another cool thing. If someone want to use rotation for images without FLASH, there is a nice link where you can download php file- extreamly easy to use....

Good luck.

buzzby365,

Check out http://isaacschlueter.com/blog/javascri ... _detection

I wrote a script that you can use to replace regular content with flash content, but only if a certain version is supported.

It would go something like this:

Code: [ Download ] [ Select ]

<html><head>
<script type="text/javascript" src="flash.js" />
<script type="text/javascript">

</script>
</head>
<body>
    <div id="MyContainerID">
        This is the fallback content. It'll be replaced by the flash movie.
    </div>
</body>
</html>

<html><head>
<script type="text/javascript" src="flash.js" />
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
window.onload = function() {
var Flasher = new FlashSwapper(
6, //version - version of flash required, required
'myMovie.swf', //the flash movie filename, required
'myContainerID', //the ID of the element to swap
'myMovieName', //the id of the movie itself, optional.
123, //width - movie width, optional
123, //height - movie height, optional
'high', //quality - movie quality, optional (low|medium|high)
'opaque', //wmode - window mode, optional (window|opaque|transparent), requires at least version 6.
'over' //swapMethod -(over|under|before). whether or not it'll remove the container's innerHTML on swapping or be placed before or after it. optional, default=over
);
Flasher.Swap();
}
//-->
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="MyContainerID">
This is the fallback content. It'll be replaced by the flash movie.
</div>
</body>
</html>
