Flash animation

When providing Flash animation on a website, it is best to assume that not all browsers will have a Flash plug-in installed. Provide a script on a Flash-enabled web page that checks for the required Flash plug-in. A website user without the Flash plug-in should be redirected to a substitute version of the web page that has a static image replacing the Flash animation sequence.

A splash page

A splash page is a preliminary presentation that precedes the regular home page of a website. Most web design experts recommend against the use of splash pages. Splash pages make a returning user work harder by making them wait or "skip" to get to the website’s home page. Splash pages also create "speed bumps" for visiting search engines and crawlers.
