Hi Josh, There is a very easy and (I think) fool proof way to detect Flash. (I am not a Flash or Php expert, but I use this on both of my sites). Create a Flash movie that has only 2 frames. The 2nd frame should have the action to Get URL(http://yourflashpage.html). Generate the Html file, and add a meta tag which redirects the browser to the non-flash page after (say) 10s. If the browser has flash, it will load the Flash page, if not it will time out and load the non-flash page. Naturally, if the browser doesn't support <Meta>, this won't work....
