Actually the way to do this in HTML is to use the OBJECT element, with a cascade that allows you to put something more useful than a simpe alt element. In fact a SMIL presentation is probably more accessible than flash - there are several players, including open-source stuff and the Real Networks G2 player. But you can put that into an object cascade along with the flash version, a quicktime movie (there are circumstances where that is a good alternative) and a number of other versions...

Seems there is a way to make an image display if you do not have the plug-in. Of course, if you have an image then we can have an ALT tag, where we can describe the visual presentation. comments? --Charles McCathieNevile mailto:charles@w3.org phone: +1 617 258 0992 http://www.w3.org/People/Charles W3C Web Accessibility Initiative http://www.w3.org/WAI MIT/LCS - 545 Technology sq., Cambridge MA, 02139, USA
