Hi all,

Thanks for the comments about the Flash Image library last week. We've managed to start building an Accessible Flash version and a html version, both pulling the content from the same XML file. All images come with their own description so this will meet the Alt tag requirements.

My question is, how do we name the links between the two versions? Should we call it "HTML version" and "Flash version"? Do most people know the difference these days? We can't really call it a "text version" as it contains images and we shouldn't really call it an "Accessible version" as the Flash will also be deemed accessible to those who can use it.

Would love to hear some thoughts from anyone who has an idea of best practice?

Cheers again,
Paul
