Make all your HTML 3.2 compliant. Include OBJECT, EMBED and alternative
code for your Flash movies. But strictly compliant. All attribute values
should be enclosed in double-quotes. Make the initial Flash movie of the
site only need Flash 4 and check the Flash version ala my Flash Version
Detector (Flash 4) at http://flashstuff.net/management/ . JavaScript and
other methods are generally to problematic. Besides that's what the
alternative code is for.
<OBJECT...>
<PARAM... >
<PARAM... >
<EMBED... >
<NOEMBED><H3>This site requires the Flash Player. Please
download here.</H3></NOEMBED>
</EMBED>
</OBJECT>
Now, what I've just said will make your site as accessible to the
absolute widest possible browser/OS combos. Probably cover 95% of all
visitors no matter what kind of site your working on. But, I don't
recommend it. XHTML and the Flash Satay method of Flash movie embedding
such as I use at http://flashstuff.net/ is what I recommend. Like so:
<object id="FlashMenu" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
data="/add/menu.swf" width="125" height="750">
<param name="movie" value="/add/menu.swf" />
<param ... />
<param ... />
<h3>This site requires the Flash Player. Please get it <a
href="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer">here</a></h3>
</object>
This method will likely work with 90% or more of your site visitors no
matter what kind of site your doing. It is standards compliant and thus
more maintainable and future proof. If it's an artists or game site then
99.9% of your visitors should be fine. For those few that aren't the
alternate code will take care of them. Though you could also expand the
alternate code to include a statement such as:
If your not using Internet Explorer 6+, Netscape 7+, Mozilla or Opera 7+
and are having trouble viewing this site then we recommend upgrading to
latest version of one of those free browsers.
You could also add the Flash version detection as mentioned before.
Always a good idea... :)
