dreamweaver: no flash > alt > .jpg

Aug 22, 2005 9:15PM PDT

hi. simple question. if i use a flash file as part of a web page and let's say a visitor doesn't have the flash plug in, dreamweaver has a built in alt function to display a static .jpg file in the flash file's spot, right?

i know i'm lazy but i hope so cuz it'd be a lot easier than doing the check the brower for the flash plug in route.

thanks for any comments/recommendations you may have!
