Dreamweaver entries for Flash default image

Question

This is a companion question to my earlier one about not
prompting viewers of my home page if they do not have the Flash
player installed.
What can I change in my Dreamweaver entries for a Flash movie
so that, if they dont have the Flash player installed, a default
image will be displayed at the same location? For example, I have a
Flash movie that transitions different text objects on and off the
stage, but, if they dont have Flash installed, I would like to put
an image of one of the blocks of text in the place of the movie.
And, of course, no prompting for plugins to accompany this.
Many thanks for solutions
Peter

In theory just with plain HTML, the 'object' element and its
capability
of nesting content:
<object
type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
data="example.swf"
width="200" height="150">
Alternative no-Flash content
</object>
Some browsers might require an additional 'param' element:
<object ...>
<param name="movie" value="example.swf">
</object>
But that's it. In theory ...
In practice be prepared for some bad surprises, especially in
broken
browsers like IE.
