Determine Flash?

programming flash
1

I am using a flash to keep and scroll a current list of new posted items for sale at a auction site , I have, it works great, but I cant figure out how to tell it that if users dont have flash to leave it blank, now Iam also using a perl script for the site but the section for the flash is in html. Below is a copy of what i insert in my html code. Some users dont want to be bothered with flash and never say yes, this would keep me covered both ways, any ideas?

one other thing I cant redirect it to another page since it needs the scripting off that page and does not call a new page.

Any help on this would be great!
