Flash with navigation

[laserawards]

I have a site & my links are in a flash file. Guess what I need to know is, If someone does not have flash on their computer would they be told that it requires flash & to download flash?
Should I just have flash on the homepage & not on my other pages?

Also, Can you check my site & see if you think it takes to long to load?
Any other suggestions about the site. Keep in mind that it is no where near being finished.

Thanks

Re: Flash with navigation

your site looks pretty good. I like your banner. Did you create that with blue voda? The site did load quick. Your contact us page had nothing on it just the banner. www.heatmeeting.com

Hi, about your site...awesome! and no the viewer does not need to have flash to view it. The internet would be a failure it it functioned on that principle.

Correct(delete) the following errors (in red)
Let me start with your menu at the bottom
Home: http://www.legacylasers.com/\index.html
Laser Engravers http://www.legacylasers.com/\Laserengravers.html
Samples good
Contact Us good (as already commented it only contains header)
Warranty http:///

Flatbed Laser Engraver - More Information (no link)
Flash buttons work except for the about button.

Site loads great and I have a super slow connection. You can check your pages using the "Page Weight" feature in the Tools menu.

Hi,
Thanks for pointing out the issues with the text links..didnt notice. I know about the ones in the flash .
But what i was thinking if someone does not have flash then they wouldnt see my links in the flash file correct?
I was also wondering if they dont have flash is there something in a flash file that would promt them that this site uses flash & instruct them to download it?

In the past all pages that I have viewed have always notified me that I need the Shockwave Flash add-on. Not sure now if this was because of firefox or because there was a notice & link included on the page.

I just disabled my flash plug-in to be sure and I can now not see the flash parts of your page.

You don't need to put a notice, people without flash will see automatic notice.
