They have certainly implemented mane accessibility features that were ot standard in Flash, but I think there is still a compatibility problem that means it is accessible if you have particular kinds of software setups and particular user requirements, rather than being teh sort of technology that redily works everywhere for everyone.So having the alternative versions is important. I have talked to the composmentis folks, who present at events like OzeWAI, and they say that they basically provide two versions which between them cover all the requests and requirements they have un across, but in principle they could generate more than to versions of their content. They are also using the flash to have a (not necessarily accessible to all, unfortunately) simple and reliable authoring interface for their clients to update content themselves. cheers Chaals
