How to redirect to a new page if no flashplayer

Hi

I need help to redirect people that use my homepage and don't have Flashplayer installed. My idea is that they should be redirected to a page with no flash on.

my code look like this :

<script type="text/javascript" src="swfobject.js"></script>

<div>
<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" width="800" height="600" id="myFlashContent">
<param name="movie" value="untitled.swf" />
  
  <object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="untitled.swf" width="800" height="600">
  
  <a href="/en/industry-division.aspx">
  <img src="http://www.adobe.com/images/shared/download_buttons/get_flash_player.gif" alt="Get Adobe Flash player" />
  </a>
  
  </object>
  
</object>
</div>

But instead of link to get the flashplayer I want them to atomatic get to the page without flash.

Can anyone help me with the code for that??

Anita,

I haven't tested it but something like this should work: (Note: This uses swfobject 2)

<div id="myContent">
      <p>Alternative content</p>
</div>

<script type="text/javascript">

var flashvars = {};
var params = {};
var attributes = {};

if(swfobject.hasFlashPlayerVersion("8.0.0")){
    swfobject.embedSWF("untitled.swf", "myContent", "800", "600", "9.0.0","expressInstall.swf", flashvars, params, attributes);
} 
else {
    window.location = "http://umbraco.org";
}

</script>

swfobject documentation: http://code.google.com/p/swfobject/wiki/documentation

Hope this helps,

Hi Donald

Thanks for your quick reply.

It was excatly what I was looking for. Now I just have to figure out, how to put it into a macro running the menu bar. :-)

Hi Anita,

alternatively you can use the noscript> tags to output content that doesn't need JS/Flash, this way you can have both content on one page.

Just thought I might post an alternative, Donald's solution will work fine though.

Cheers,
Sascha
