Hi There

In previous versions of dreamweaver it was easy to select an alternative image for a flash swf in the property inspector (incase people don't have the latest flash player), but in dreamweaver mx this facility has seemed to have dissappeared. Does anyone know what the plain html is for this - I've tried the obvious things I can think of???

Thanks

there is no simple way. You need to use a javascript to detect the plug in and replace the flash with an image if its not detected.

Here's one i've used in the past:

Hope that helps you. If not, PM and I'll send you and example.
