If an <object> plugin fails (ie Flash) have it render some other content?

Question

I have a flash header that I show on one of my customers sites, but instead of creating an entire new website for non-flash, is there a way I can have it render a static image version of the header instead of either redirecting or just not rendering the flash content at all (ie with a FAIL message)?

Maybe something like a noscript for object?

Answer 1

Just put whatever you need inside of the object element and it'll fallback.

Answer 2

And easy way to do this is to use SWFObject.

A javascript based solution that allows you to create fallback content.
