How to display alternative content when there is no Flash support
To display an alternative content when there is no Flash support, like a browser that doesn't have Adobe Flash Player plugin installed or an Apple mobile device like iPhone or iPad, you have to add the alternative content between the component's opening DIV tag and closing DIV tag.
This is an example for 3D Banner FX:
<div id="Div3DBannerFX">Alternative content here</div>
<script type="text/javascript" src="swfobject.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
var flashvars = {};
var params = {};
params.base = "";
params.scale = "noscale";
params.salign = "tl";
params.wmode = "transparent";
params.allowFullScreen = "true";
params.allowScriptAccess = "always";
swfobject.embedSWF("3DBannerFX.swf", "Div3DBannerFX", "600", "374", "9.0.0", false, flashvars, params);
</script>
You can use custom HTML code instead of Alternative content here in the above code, like this example that show you how to display an image if there is no Flash support.
<div id="Div3DBannerFX"><img src="banner.jpg" /></div>
<script type="text/javascript" src="swfobject.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
var flashvars = {};
var params = {};
params.base = "";
params.scale = "noscale";
params.salign = "tl";
params.wmode = "transparent";
params.allowFullScreen = "true";
params.allowScriptAccess = "always";
swfobject.embedSWF("3DBannerFX.swf", "Div3DBannerFX", "600", "374", "9.0.0", false, flashvars, params);
</script>
For WordPress or Joomla websites you can find out in the install instructions how to display alternative content.

Posted 3 months agoHi,
I am trying to write alternate text to display on Iphones/androids that do not support flash but cant seem to get it right. I end up with both alternate text and flash (text) displaying at once, code is below, any input is appreciated !!
<div classid=“clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000”>Alternative content here</div>
<object classid=“clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000” class=“result10435918” codebase=“http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9,0,40,0” width=“595” height=“39” id=“haxe” align=“middle”> <param name=“movie” value=“logo70644855.swf”/> <param name=“allowScriptAccess” value=“always” /> <param name=“quality” value=“high” /> <param name=“wmode” value=“transparent” /> <embed src=“images/homeheader2.swf” wmode=“transparent” width=“595” height=“39” name=“haxe” quality=“high” allowScriptAccess=“always” type=“application/x-shockwave-flash” pluginspage=“http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer” ></embed>
</object>
Try to use our embed method:
<div id="Div3DBannerFX">Alternative content here</div> <script type="text/javascript" src="swfobject.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript"> var flashvars = {}; var params = {}; params.base = ""; params.scale = "noscale"; params.salign = "tl"; params.wmode = "transparent"; params.allowFullScreen = "true"; params.allowScriptAccess = "always"; swfobject.embedSWF("3DBannerFX.swf", "Div3DBannerFX", "600", "374", "9.0.0", false, flashvars, params); </script>Karubum

Posted 7 months agoHi, I’m using the text menu fx on my joomla website. I have to make the menu visible also for the iphone or ipad users. Therefore i want to ask you if there is any kind of converter from your flash menu to an html5 menu. I’ve proved with a plugin of adobe cs6, adobe professional toolkit, but it give me errors. How can i do it?
Thank you in advance.
Unfortunately we don’t have any knowledge about a flash to html5 converter.

Posted 9 months agoHello
In the Joomla Instructions there is no indication how to redirect or provide alternate content for non-flash users.
I am using Photo Wall FX.
Can you advise for Joomla 1.6 and higher?
Thanks
You can provide alternative content by adding the content you want between {photo-wall-fx} and {/photo-wall-fx}.
