If they want Flash, give them Flash. It is absolutely necessary to provide
an HTML alternative, but if I were you I wouldn't spend a lot of your time
(and their money) trying to create a DHTML site that duplicates the Flash
site. Just do something simple and functional that gets all the information
across in an accessible format. The most important thing is that everyone
gets the information, not that everyone sees the exact same site.
