Loretta points out that our guidelines should stand the test of time. OK. While we focus upon things like JavaScript, SVG and Flash, who says that some smart person won't come up with a new technology? Each time we have a new technology come up we are in the same position ... it won't work on all platforms and in all assistive technology. Therefore, we must have a fallback position. That fallback position must be an equivalent text alternative.

But Michael was just using Flash as an example for a more general question. We'd like these guidelines to stand for a long time, and technology will continue to change. Supposing that Flash did have support on Mac and Linux. Would that change your answer? Are there any conditions that wouldn't require a text alternative?
