Embedding Flash
This is good: http://blog.deconcept.com/swfobject/
The swfObject.js does all the detection and writes in the flash object if the user's browser can handle it. What's good about the script though, is that it writes the flash object to an existing element, overwriting whatever's already there. This makes it easy to do a non-flash version for your lo-fi users, and for that minority who disable javascript. Nice. It's in operation on the RadioTimes.com homepage at the time of writing. Try disabling javascript and see what happens.
