It remains a fact that for non readers flash sites provide an interactive computer based environment that is for the present extremely succesful, even though it provides a very limited browsing capability, currently. There is no comparable technology on the web including text readers that provides a similar stimulus. media players are much enjoyed but rarely interactive. It is in this sense that accessibility is flash(for my clients). I would also like to point out that macromedia homepages generally do not link to technical data and information, rather to popular and successful examples of content produced. However as this all came up some years ago in the QED thread, I'll cry off. Finally: I have asked on a number of occasions that w3 host flash pages.Without success. I do recognise that there are enormous problems involved in making such pages accessible in the w3 sense. jonathan chetwynd jc@signbrowser.org.uk IT teacher (learning difficulty) & accessibility consultant
