alternative flash content for iphone
Hello,
I have a site with a flash banner. I have provided alternative content (on a test page only for now) that is just a static graphic. this works fine on desktop browsers.
i know that iphone does not support flash but it isnt showing the alternative content either. i have used swfobject as shown below:
thanks for any help

i have an idea. you buy me an i-phone, and then .... haha
i dont' have any experience working with an i-phone so i'm not sure.
i'd recommend posting on that guys blog, since he obviously has done it before. and check out the forums on the apple site.
thats all i got, sorry.
