Given that 95% of computers have a Flash player installed, this may be an
unnecessary question, but what happens if I use Flash buttons in a DW8 site and
the client computer has no Flash player? I know the SWFauto detects the
player, but what happens to the buttons and their behavior if none is present?
Does it display only the up condition, or do I need to provide alternate
navigation?

Thanks,
don Carlos

if the client computer has no flash player then no flash elements will be
displayed, it's like when an image is missing...you just get an X and an empty
spot on the page. Usually the browser will tell them they need to download
flash...but as a general rule of web design , you should always include
standard html links in your site just in case... Also it helps search engines
to crawl and index your site. They cannot navigate your site using flash
buttons.

I have a similar issue..only I'm using DWMx. I included some interactive
buttons on a site I'm working on and the client does not have Flash loaded. The
buttons are visible, but instead of single-click, they need to be
double-clicked?? How do I resolve that issue?
