This one is done by javascript. This scipt will check the viewer have flash player in his/her system. If the person not have the flash player, the script automatically redirect the page in to a static html page. For this what you can do is create one static html page (yourpage.html).

<SCRIPT language="JavaScript">

<!--

var MM_contentVersion = 6;

var plugin = (navigator.mimeTypes && navigator.mimeTypes["application/x-shockwave-flash"]) ? navigator.mimeTypes["application/x-shockwave-flash"].enabledPlugin : 0;

if ( plugin ) {

var words = navigator.plugins["Shockwave Flash"].description.split(" ");

for (var i = 0; i < words.length; ++i)

{

if (isNaN(parseInt(words[i])))

continue;

var MM_PluginVersion = words[i];

}

var MM_FlashCanPlay = MM_PluginVersion >= MM_contentVersion;

}

else if (navigator.userAgent && navigator.userAgent.indexOf("MSIE")>=0 && (navigator.appVersion.indexOf("Win") != -1)) {

document.write('<SCR' + 'IPT LANGUAGE=VBScript\> \n'); //FS hide this from IE4.5 Mac by splitting the tag

document.write('on error resume next \n');

document.write('MM_FlashCanPlay = ( IsObject(CreateObject("ShockwaveFlash.ShockwaveFlash." & MM_contentVersion)))\n');

document.write('</SCR' + 'IPT\> \n');

}

if ( MM_FlashCanPlay ) {

//alert('flash');

} else{

//alert('no flash');

}

//-->



reDirection = 0;

for(var i=0; i<=15; i++)

{

flashVersion = 0;

try

{

var flash = new ActiveXObject("ShockwaveFlash.ShockwaveFlash." + i);

flashVersion = i;

if(i==8||i==9)

{

//latest version flash 8.0 or higher version

reDirection = 1;

}



}

catch(e)

{

}

}



if(reDirection==0)

{

window.location = "yourpage.html";

}





</SCRIPT>

The javascript does not work in IE7, it just automatically redirects to "yourpage.html" weather flash is installed or not. Know of any fix for this?

Use the swfObject to embed your movie...

And it's ExpressInstall feature...
