Thanks! That is just what I needed!

There's no need for a separate page, just put your alternative code inside the <object>. It will be shown if the Flash isn't.

If you go that route, you need to specify the version. Even then, I am not sure if all user agents will show the alternative content unless they have no Flash plug in available. And, in the case of object/object or object/embed tags, as are required for most cross browser implementations of Flash, does that go inside the inner tag? I would think so. However, with some implementations, this inner tag is obscured from IE. In others, the entire tag/tag set is scripted with no non-javascript fall back and no convenient way to provide this inner alternative non-Flash content. So, the scripted method isn't such a bad idea. It will fail where javascript isn't enabled though. But, since a good implementation of Flash is scripted to begin with, with a non-javascript fall back, there is every reason to include the alternative content as Twey mentions, in the HTML fall back portion.

I believe the "Flash Satay" method addresses all your qualms, although it is rather roundabout.
