[color=royalblue]I am fairly new to Flash. I have a web site where it is set up in frames. The top portion is flash and the bottom is in html. [/color]  
[color=royalblue] [/color]  
[color=royalblue]Is there a script available that can detect if a web user does not have the flash plug-in then the flash portion of my site can be viewed in html?[/color]  
[color=royalblue] [/color]  
[color=royalblue]I found the following script below on kirupa. It detects the flash plug-in, then displays either a swf or an image. The problem is that the flash portion of my site contains clickable links. If I use an image, the links will no longer work. [/color]  
[color=royalblue] [/color]  
[color=royalblue]Please email me at: [/color][[color=royalblue]jetblazerz@hotmail.com[/color]](mailto:jetblazerz@hotmail.com)[color=royalblue]. Any help is greatly appreciated![/color]
