    Default use html for flash

    the site i'm working on is mostly intended for military purposes and from what i've been told that most of them don't allow flash installed in their computer due to security reason.

    when i created my flash, it came with an html file, how can i use (insert) that html code for site for non-flash users???

    When you publish an .fla file it becomes a .swf file, based on your choices you can also output an auto generated html file, gif, jpg, png, and a few other choices.

    This html file is the page you upload to the server, along with the .swf file. You don't want people browsing directly to the .swf, instead you want them to go to the html. The flash will appear on the HTML. If the user doesn't have flash player installed, then they won't see it (even if they go directly to the .swf

    There are other options on the publish menu, and selecting a gif and a jpg to publish as well, using the html settings you can check for flash installed, and if it is not show the image instead of the flash. There won't be links and buttons and anything else though. The picture will just be a place holder so something is there.

    Look into SWFObject (http://blog.deconcept.com/swfobject/)
    It will display alternative content in place of Flash should a user not have the flash plugin installed.

    Yes, it does require some manipulation of HTML. Not very hard though. Look through the docs, it'll explain everything.
