I was just wondering what is the best way to insert a flash element into a page, ive seen a number of page put it in the back ground of the <div>, how can i do this and is this the best way?

also is there a way of displaying flash to enabled browsers but perhaps just a static picture to those that dont?

AFAIK you can only put an image as the background of a <div> (W3C CSS2.1 background [w3.org]).

If you have an example of where this is done, would you mind stickying me the URL or else posting the CSS code?

A List Apart has a means of putting a Flash movie into a page for a browser that supports it, and an image for those that don't.
