Hello everyone,
I'm afraid I'm very new to Flash and learning as I go, I'm equally new to
webdesign, so apologies in advance.

I've created a flash movie, and I've published it and got my various files
plus HTML file and my alternate JPG.
I can get the movie to work fine in Firefox but not at all in IE, so I just
want the alternate jpg to display instead. However in the code where it says:

[i]//end AC code
    } else { // flash is too old or we can't detect the plugin
        var alternateContent = 'Alternate HTML content should be placed here.'
            + 'This content requires the Adobe Flash Player.'
            + '<a href=http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflash/>Get Flash</a>';
        document.write(alternateContent); // insert non-flash content[/i]

I put in img src=gloworb.jpg where it prompts "alternate html content should
be placed here" and nothing happens at all. Can anyone help?

Thanks,

Ryan

what is the actual code that you are using in your alternate content? that is probably where things are going wrong.

Hiya, thanks for replying. Here is the final chunk of code of the published
flash. Bold is my addition.

//end AC code
} else { // flash is too old or we can't detect the plugin
var alternateContent = '[b]img class="absol" img src="glowing orb.jpg[/b]'

The class just relates to the positioning Ive assigned to the main logo, and
if the flash movie cant play I just want the static regular logo to be visible
instead.

Thanks
