Thanks Joe, but how does one determine the speed of the visitors connection
to know when to switch to the standard gif?

Actually, this can be done using an XHTML valid method for inserting flash -

<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="your-file.swf"
width="w" height="h"><param name="movie" value="your-file.swf" />
<img src="an_alternate_image_to_display.gif|jpg|png" alt="Alternate
image description, (Flash Player not installed)." /></object>

The alternate image can be whatever you choose - obviously should have
the same dimensions, etc. You can read more at
