There is not really such as thing as "too much" alternative content. This is the content most search engines will see, so as far as they are concerned, the alt content IS the content of the page. The idea with whitehat SEO is that what the users see must match what the search engines see. As long as your users are seeing the same words and text (in Flash or HTML) as the what the bots are, then you are not breaking any rules etc.
Given that SWFObject uses the domready event to init etc, the user shouldn't have the overhead opf having to load the alt content images AND the swfs (but they will download the text portion of the alt content).
