On a recent project I tested for the existence of Flash using some publicly-available JavaScript. I then served up an image if Flash wasn't installed. The noscript alternative was also the image. It was the only way I could seem to serve something sensible to all browsers.
Out of interest: why not simply provide the alternative content inside the OBJECT element, as per specification? If the OBJECT itself can't be displayed (e.g. Flash is not installed), then the alternative is displayed...all without getting any scripting involved.
