<i>
 </i>&lt;script type="text/javascript" src="flash.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
 &lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;
 &lt;!-- Description of what this script does is in the file flash.js
 if (flashInstalled){
 document.write ('&lt;object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="images/logo.swf" width="160px" height="90px"&gt;');
 document.write ('&lt;param name="movie" value="images/logo.swf" width="160px" height="90px" quality="high" menu="false" /&gt;');
 document.write ('&lt;/object&gt;');
 }
 else {
 document.write ('&lt;img src="images/logo.gif" width="160px" height="90px" alt="Tunes. Get Music Now!" /&gt;');
 }
 //--&gt;
 &lt;/script&gt;
 &lt;noscript&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="images/logo.gif" width="160px" height="90px" alt="Tunes. Get Music Now!" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/noscript&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;!--End Header --&gt;

and flash.js

<i>
 </i>// JavaScript Document
 
 // FLASH DETECTION
 
 // If Javascript is enabled:
 //		This script detects if Flash v6+ is installed. 
 // 		If Flash is installed:
 //			Then the .swf logo is displayed on the page.
 // 		If Flash isnt installed:
 //			Then the .gif logo is displayed on the page.
 
 // If Javascript isnt enabled:
 //		Then the .gif logo is displayed on the page.
 // 		If Images arent enabled:
 //			Then the alternate text is displayed.
 
 // I have found this to be useful as long as the .swf has no functionality 
 // and is only there for design purposes.
 
 // Although the .gif may include some information letting the end user know that 
 // Javascript needs to be enabled and that the latest version of Flash needs to be installed.
 
 
 // I adapted this script off the Big Brother website http://bigbrother.3mobile.com.au

got another problem i got this java code off of bathurst guy it does what i want it do, but there are a few problems.

1. is that there is a little dead space under the picture if the swf don't display and i don't know how to get rid of it.

2. is now it don't prompt you and ask you if you want to download flash anymore. i want it to prompt me and if you say don't apply it displays the default pic and. please check out the uploaded file for reference.
