RE: flash - alternatives

Are there any good tutorial or instructions on how to synchronize a text
file and a flash clip?
I also have read that they should be synchronized, but understood that to be
for sound or a true "movie" clip that showed for example people doing
something. This is a seamless presentation of text. Before you had to....
Now you can..... any images are pure eye candy and not directly related to
the text. Does this still have to be synchronized?

My (extremely limited) understanding is that it should be synchronized,
neither before nor after.
