I've been supplied a flash splash page on the site I'm building (I know!), and I'm not entirely sure if I've embedded it correctly. It was never my intention of using flash (because I havent really used it before!). I just want to make sure it's going to appear properly on all/most browsers, and importantly show alternate text if they go and look at it on their iphones!
The page is here: link removed
I seem to be getting a flicker of my alternative text before the flash appears. That shouldn't be happening should it?
Relevant code is here:
I'm looking into SWFObject but it looks really complicated! Any help pretty please?
