So I have a website that I did using Flash for the navigation menus, otherwise the site is all html.

I know they say about 97% of users now have Flash but the site's owner is a real stickler for this and does NOT want to force people to download Flash if they don't have a flash player. So I'm trying to figure out how to deal with this WITHOUT having to do a seperate html web site with an html menu.

Here's my HTML code that I use to pull in the swf menu, Now is there a way to write this so that if it can't display this flash menu it could display an alternate gif with an image map?


<!-- flash navigation menu called via javascript to bypass Explorer security warning-->
<script type="text/javascript">
AC_FL_RunContent( 'codebase','http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=7,0,19,0','width','620','heigh t','95','src','navigation','quality','high','plugi nspage','http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer','movie','sub_navigation?position=t hree' ); //end AC code
</script>
<noscript>
<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=7,0,19,0" width="620" height="95">
<param name="movie" value="sub_navigation.swf?position=three" />
<param name="quality" value="high" />
<embed src="sub_navigation.swf?position=three" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="620" height="95"></embed>
</object></noscript>
<script type="text/javascript">
AC_AX_RunContent( 'width','0','height','0' ); //end AC code
</script><noscript><object width="0" height="0">
</object>
</noscript>

You probably need to read this through at least up to the "Details" section :)
