Flash - is it available to your web page?

I've been doing some research on the subject and ... separating out the wood from the trees, I'll present you a link to the really vital stuff so you can do it yourself. The method is to use a piece of Javascript to sense which plugins you have; an extended method (link in my source) lets you try to do the same thing on boxes that don't have Javascript either ....
Links to a running demo and to the source code for that demo. It's early days of learning for us on this subject - the Flash demo reminds me somewhat of why the blink tag was removed from HTML as I write this article,, but I know I'll have another version of the movie available in a few hours which will be a "plug and play" replacement.
