Hi,

i'm new to SWFObject.  i'm trying to add a redirect URL for browsers 
w/o the flash player plugin.  Unfortunately, when i point to the page 
(http://qsearchmarketing.com/test.html) it does not redirect.  Any help 
would be much appreciated (btw - i tested this on Mac Safari, Firefox & 
PC IE 6 & Firefox - w/ Flash player removed & none of 'em worked).

I"ve seen plenty of posts from people using Express Install & redirect 
-- but has anyone had any success w/ just the RedirectURL?
i'm open to using another plugin detection method on a (spash page that 
sends users to flash/no flash versions for example) if anyone knows of 
one that actually works :D

Here is how the HTML is set up:

   <div id="flashcontent"> <strong>You need to upgrade your Flash 
Player</strong>
       <p>This site requires a more recent version of the Adobe FLASH 
Player.<br>
         Please <a 
href="http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer">download the
         latest version</a> from Adobe's web site and follow the 
instructions
         for installation.</p>
     <script type="text/javascript">
		// <![CDATA[
		
		var so = new SWFObject("qs_home.swf", "qs_home", "800", "245", "6", 
"#FFFFFF");
		fo.addVariable("location", "home"); // this line is optional, but 
this example uses the variable and displays this text inside the flash 
movie
		fo.addVariable("text", "What's New at Q-Search Marketing");
		fo.setAttribute('RedirectUrl', 'http://yahoo.com');
		fo.write("flashcontent");
		
		// ]]>
	</script>
   </div>
