i am new to this flash thing right.
now i have my website www.dbm8.co.za
how can i have a index.html page showing first a static page giving 2 links to the non flash site or the flash site,The web browser must choose which one he want to see:confused:
 
easy. your index.html has two links: "indexnf.html" and "indexf.html" which contains the flash site. But it is the user's choice whether he/she wishes to view the flash version or the non flash version. Otherwise what you can do is to run a script checking for flash compatibility and then redirecting to a non-flash version if incompatible. The problem, however, is that users such as 3G users and dial-up users will wish to view the html version due to speed issues (dial-up) and space issues (3G).

Check my post, and read carefully. 3G users pay a lot more than us ADSL users for data and as such are usually careful about the amount of data transferred (flash can get pretty big), whilst DIAL-UP users have speed issues.

Sorry. Not space issues, but rather data-transfer amount issues. Whatever you want to call it. 3G pays, what, 50c/meg? ADSL is a "mere 6c/meg"...
 
I would help you if I did flash. My do php developing and as such the honours of helping you flash will need to go to someone more experienced in flashing
 
either that, or make use of local mirrors (a little faster than international downloads) and download everything you want. http://mirror.ac.za, http:ftp.up.ac.za, others too
