how to hide text behind embedded Flash SWF object in HTML

Question

I am trying display customized text behind my embedded Flash swf file on HTML. I embed using SWFObject.

The purpose is to show the custom text whenever Flash player is not installed. This might also help with the flash illiterate web-crawlers.

thanks!

SWFObject already gives you the option to show alternative content when Flash is not installed.

Look for the section "STEP 1: Embed both Flash content and alternative content using standards compliant markup"
