Best way to deliver content?

So FireFox does not come bundled with a Macromedia Flash Player which it seems you have to install yourself. Looks like some kind of issue with Macromedia's licensing.

So what is the best way to deliver a 270px x 130px bit of flash content on an html page which will deliver either the flash movie or a link to download or upgrade flash player. AND this should work in MSIE 5+ FireFox 1.0 and Netscape 7.0 (maybe Netscape 6.0)

Any thoughts?

Strange, the Mozilla site says that Firefox1.0 comes bundled with Flash/Shockwave (as well as Real player and a Java Virtual Machine) and my install of it certainly did.

Part of the object tag for your flash movie should be the redirect to the download page if the plugin is not installed....

My apologies it looks like I just didn't have a new enough flash player. Only seems to be Flash player 5.0
