I have recently started using flash and whenever I insert a flash object/movie into my html I see this brief white flash as the movie loads. Is there any way to get rid of this white flicker, maybe setting a background color with CSS? Also what is the best way to have a static image display in place of a flash element if the viewer does not have flash installed?
~thanks -

for the first question, are you using dreamweaver to build the site ? If yes then select the grey flash file on the page and in the properties tool box there is a colour selector. simply select the same colour as your html page and the white flicker will be no more. All you did is set a bgcolor param for the flash file.
heres a sample with the bgcolor bits highlighted.
<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,29,0" width="800" height="90">
<param name="movie" value="filename.swf">
<param name="quality" value="high">
----------------- bgcolor param below-----------------
<param name="bgcolor" value="#000000">
<embed src="filename.swf" quality="high"
----------------- embed bgcolor below-----------------
bgcolor="#000000"

Use FlashObject to load your flash movies.
