Designing the Flash Detection Experience

 

  The Redirect Approach

Redirection is messy business. At the very least, it requires three HTML files and a SWF, which makes it unbearable to use if you plan to add Flash content to multiple pages. It also puts you into a loop, because the Back button now returns you to the detection page, which immediately returns you to this page. So even if you have the correct plugin, the Back button has been rendered useless.
