having a website displaying 2 options

[kronoSX]

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

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"...
