    Hello,

    I'm using the SWF Object to embed my Flash content but I'm noticing a
    couple of seconds lag between hiding the HTML content and replacing it
    with the Flash content, and according to our designer who designed the
    website he feels that this looks quite unprofessional and I do have to
    agree with him.


    If you take a look at: http://www.badgehurst-training.co.uk/Home.aspx
    you'll notice that this page has 3 different Flash objects, but the
    main issue is with the header Flash object (wood background with
    "badgehurst training" written into the wood).


    You'll notice that when Flash or JavaScript is not enabled then a
    replacement HTML image is shown, but when you load this page you still
    see that image for a split second before the SWF Object script kicks
    in and replaces it.


    Is there any way around this?


    Also, is there any Server-Side (ASP.NET) scripts that can detect if
    the user has Flash player? I have searched around for the past two days and found nothing as it seems that although .NET can read the ActiveX control and mime types, they are completely unreliable!


    I'm on such a tight deadline for this I'm lost for answers.


    Thanks in advance.


    Kind regards,
    Mark
