How to support Flash objects in any Web browser for a Lotus Notes Domino application

If the Web browser supports MIME-type applications, the JavaScript writes out an EMBED tag to display the Flash animation. Otherwise, it will write an IMG tag to display only a graphic.

The OBJECT tag is invoked on any browser that supports ActiveX, regardless of which tag JavaScript writes.

Make sure that there are no line breaks in your EMBED or IMG tags, or the JavaScript will fail.

If you'd like to use line breaks, you can put each line in a separate document.write() command.

Notice that the entire EMBED and IMG strings are enclosed in single quotes; this allows for double quotes to be inside of the strings, without breaking them or having to use a slash to declare each quotation mark (").
