whats the best way to validate flash in HTML? Should I chuck it in a separate Javascript file?
cheers

if you mean embedding flash so that it validates you can use the flash satay method.

how do you include the redirectURL parameter to Deconcept's FlashObject code (yes, I'm totally green with .js)?
I just need to detect flash for my Flash navigation interface, and redirect to an HTML navigation mirror site if they don't have the plugin...
Any help on writing this parameter in?
Thanks

How about a simple plugin check with a redirect if they don't have Flash? No embedding necessary...???
Somebody must have done this in the past no?
Anybody?

quoting from geoff's site:
# fo.redirect no longer exists. When using FlashObject to redirect users to a seperate upgrade page, you now specify the redirect url like this: fo.setAttribute('redirectUrl', 'http://www.example.com');

the blatek method uses flash satay, which has issues with JAWS screen readers.
you should use javascript to embed your stuff..
why not use flashobject to check for flash, and dispplay the html nav if they don't have flash installed? that's the best way to do it instead of redirecting. read through the flashobject page - all the info and examples you should need are there.
