There's two approaches, one is to use the Hixie style flash embedding, and include your text/html content nested inside the inner object element. This content is visible to text browsers and google. This is demonstrable by searching for the string:
"FAIL (the browser should render some flash content, not this)" , Which is what Hixie put in his original example. (Rather unfortunately, he didn't put in any useful text). The other approach is to author a standard's compliant page, with your text alternative in line, and use a javascript method such as FlashObject, or UFO to replace the text with a flash movie. Users with flash installed get the flash movie, users without either Javascript, or Flash will get standard html content. On 7/12/07, Micky Hulse <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

How much text alternatives are we talking here? More detail on what you need would help me. Are these complex applications with a lot of content, or do you just need to simply show alternative content if the flash file fails to load? -- Wishlists: <http://snipurl.com/1gqpj> Switch: <http://browsehappy.com/> BCC?: <http://snipurl.com/w6f8> My: <http://del.icio.us/mhulse> ******************************************************************* List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] *******************************************************************
