There's a template (called ad4banner) that you can download from the

macromedia site that will create the code for you (follow the directions

for where to put it and then just publish in Flash using that

template).  I used this to replace a flash movie in a table cell with a

gif and it worked fine in IE and Netscape in Windows, but someone with a

Mac said it dumped javascript onto the page, so I don't know how

reliable this solution is cross-platform.  Colin Moock has a detector

you can use also, in the flash section at moock.org.
