I have an exact copy of the flash banner in .JPEG format could you offer some idea on how to implement this option so both parties can view? I could use flash or non flash selection on Main entery page correct? but how do I implement both styles without have 2 whole themes is there a simple script to do this in the theme itself?

Yeah each day I work on this it gets easier and easier. Studio MX 2004 with flash Pro MX helps too : )~
My main task at hand right now is Text background and borders. then Im really going to have to go back and touch it up. I have a partner working on some of the images if you look in the forum and search for a member they are quite nice.

I'm not big into Flash or Shockwave (I try to avoid it). So others may have better advice.

However, I did come across this at this test web page, and I like how it works:

This I thought was clever... using CSS, the put an image as the background, then if the Flash loads it plays over the top of the background. I don't know that it really buys you much over the script above, which is straightforward, but...

Finally, I checked out a Webmonkey article, and they point to a flash detector script that (I think) is capable of serving the specific type of flash movie supported by each version of the player... if you need that level of support. Also, it drops to images when Flash is not available. This is a little heavier scripting...

(you can dig around for all sorts of flash stuff here)

I suspect the first bit of code there will quickly serve you in the short term while you explore alternatives.
