FLASH: Aftershock

[James Kozick]

I completed a site with Flash for a client back when Aftershock was in beta. 

Since Aftershock was in beta, I didn't use Aftershock in the site.   In order

to accommodate for visitors to the site that either did not have active x or

the plug-in installed to play the Flash movie I started off with a page for

the visitor to choose either to go with the Flash version or a non-Flash

version.  Functional, but not very elegant.


Now Aftershock is apparently beyond beta.  My understanding of the function of

Aftershock is that among other things, it offers through HTML a behind the

scenes screening of the visitor to see if they are equipped to play Flash or

not.  And if not, to offer a non Flash alternative GIF without the visitor

even knowing the difference.


Any suggestions on using Aftershock?   Is it very dependable?  Will it give

non-plugged-in visitors a consistently positive alternative experience?  Any quirks?


Thanks!
