Is it possible to have content that will appear if a flash movie does not? Is there an "alt text" for flash, so to speak?

Alternative content goes just before the closing </object> tag.

So you could have...

<object>
[Flash navigation here]
[html navigation here]
</object>

?

Yes. However, I would say that you shouldn't use Flash for navigation at all.

Do you really want to maintain two sets of links?

You can make almost as interesting (clean) menus in CSS/JavaScript as in flash. Then, as Kravvitz says, you do not have to maintain two navigationmenus. HTML/CSS/JavaScript menus are readily available. Remember, just because you can add feature X and show how talented you are in flash doesn't mean that you should. In the end, it is up to you and your visitors.
