How To Provide Alternative Image If Flash Player Not Available

I`m designing a site with an interactive header created in Flash.  Does anyone know how to display an alternative image (a .png) in it`s place if a user doesn`t have the Flash Player?  Of course, this is especially important for visitors using iPhones!  The site logo is part of the Flash movie, which makes it all the more important that something is displayed in the movie`s place.
I`ve heard their are ways of doing it with Javascript, but is this really necessary?  There must be an easy solution!
Thanks for any help/suggestions anyone can give!
Matt

  • IPhone Alternative to Adobe Flash Player for video

    Is there an alternative to view video on iPhone. Whenever I want to click on and see a video it says need to upload Adobe and Adobe Flash Player not available for iPhone. Thank you for an help. Kevin

    Flash still has it's uses, but the need for Flash due to lack of any usable alternatives is certainly diminishing. And many sites are using Flash for things for which there are practical, non-proprietary, alternatives such as the technologies in HTML5.
    What irritates me are sites that use Flash only for doing fancy text. That's just the developer being too lazy to write CSS.

  • How to place a still image for Flash Player for a website

    Hello,
    I have CS3 suite and am using Dreamweaver and Flash for a new project.  I am working on a website and would like to have small flash movies on several different pages.  I would like to know how to get a still image in flash player before the user clicks the movie so that they will not see a black box on the pages before and after they click the movie.  Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks.

    Hi, You can go to this test site to see if you have Flash Player Installed on your 10.6.5 Mac.
    http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
    Then this link has info on how to Uninstall Flash Player (if needed) and Install the latest version. It is a step by step.
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/865/cpsid_86551.html  
    After reading that info and you just need to Install, then this link would be easier:
    http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/fp_distribution3.html
    Flash Player is a browser plugin and as long as your browser is supported by Adobe Flash Player, then you shouldn't have any problem.
    Hope that helps,

  • I want an alternative to Adobe flash player plug-in for my Windows 8 computer 64 bit

    can you recommend an alternative to Adobe flash player plug-in for my Windows 8 computer 64 bit

    Mozilla is currently developing an open standards-based Flash renderer called Shumway.
    https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Projects/Shumway
    Available as an extension [http://mozilla.github.io/shumway/extension/firefox/shumway.xpi here]. ''< click to launch the add-on installer.''
    ''It seems to work fine on YouTube videos in the Firefox 31 release version, although it is somewhat CPU intensive.''
    And also available in the Nightly development versions.
    http://nightly.mozilla.org/
    Feel free to try it out, but make sure you install it into its' own Program Files folderset and make sure you create a unique Profile for use only with Nightly. If the same Profile is used with both Release and pre-release versions problems sometimes arise after switching back and forth between different versions of Firefox. Basically, Nightly is like 18 weeks ''(at a minimum)'' removed from becoming a release version, but some projects stay on Nightly for a longer time as they are being developed. That happens to provide as many user / testers as possible, by not resorting to a separate development trunk version.

    How to upload a image or flash file as blob object in a table.
    What are all the possible ways we can do it.

    Searching the forum (or google) would be my first choice, as this question pops up every now and then.
    Next without knowledge of your environment (jdev version and technology stack) it's hard to give a profound answer.
    All I can say is that it's possible.

  • How do I update my internal flash player?

    How do I update my internal flash player? My browser versions

    I get this error in flex:

    Flex Builder cannot locate the required debugger version of
    Flash Player. You might need to install the debugger version of

    Do you want to try to debug with the current version?

    Thanks for your helpful reply. If most of my website visitors are using Safari browser (( iPhone, iPad devices )) what type of flash should we use in the headers?
    www.i-phony.com
    I hope to use my previous flash designs.
    Best regards
    Since Apple designed iOS (per Steve Jobs' insistence) to be specifically incompatible with Flash, I wouldn't worry about what Flash content to use in headers for devices that can never, and will never, be able to see it.
    I stopped using Flash for anything in my websites about six months ago, converting what I had to HTML5 (MP4) and any new content that would have previously been done in Flash is going the be the same.

    You show a preview and use loadMovie() to load a big file.
    You can
    create a preloader (progress bar) showing how much part is
    loaded,
    while user sees the small image. When you achieve 100% tou
    show that
    big image. What's more?
    > Can any one tell me how to stream the images in flash.
    What are you talking about is not a "streaming", but
    "progressive
    download". Images "streaming" is impossible.

  • Is there an alternative to adobe flash player for the iPad?

    Is there an alternative to adobe flash player for the ipad2?

    No - flash is not supported, and probably never will be (http://www.apple.com/hotnews/thoughts-on-flash/ and Adobe havn't created a version that works on iOS anyway).
    Browsers such as Skyfire, iSwifter, and Puffin 'work' on some sites, but not all judging by the reviews. You might also find that some sites (especially news sites) have their own apps on the app store which let you get some of the content that you want.

    When I goto 'http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/' , it just keep displaying the following message without any option to download a standalone installer for offline installing:
    This content requires a newer version of the Flash Player. Please download and install the latest version of Flash Player from the Windows Update site before continuing.
    If you are using the Metro style browser, please confirm you have allowed updates to the Compatibility View list as follows: 
    Open IE on the Desktop
    From the Tools menu, click Compatibility View settings
    Check Download updated compatibility lists from Microsoft
    If you don't see the Tools menu, press and hold on the title bar, this will show the context menu, check the Menu bar.
