Searching the Flash technotes with keyword "alt" pulls up:

"Can I substitute ALT content for a SWF file?"

This deals mainly with the literal ALT tag and accessibility issues though.

For straight media-replacement, doublecheck Chapter 13 of the Flash 4 docs,

and please be advised that browsers do differ in what they'll reveal to

JavaScript of their abilities.


Tip: Considering the prevalence of the Macromedia Flash 4 Player, you may

just wish to show the content, and offer a little "can't hear the

animation?" link.
