Flash Viewer or No Flash Viewer

[MicahDB]

Hello All,

I'm far from a Flash Developer and that's why I'm here. I've used Flash for banners and little movies for my companies intranet. In that setting I can be assured that everyone in the environment has a Flash viewer installed so I don't ever have to worry about developing a 'back up plan'. However, I would like to start using Flash outside my safe intranet world and I'm not 100% how to detect and safe guard against people not having a flash viewer. All I want to do is either show them Flash movie or show a static jpg file. Either or based on whether or not they have a viewer.

I tried to search in the form, but the results of Flash Viewer are huge. If someone could either direct me to a good industry standard, give me some thoughts, direct me to a forum response or something, I would appreciate it.

Thanks,
Micah

The industry standard is SWF Object: <

I can tell this is the industry standard because even Adobe site uses it instead of own Macromedia solution...!
