content of the text-only page shall be updated whenever the primary
page changes."
I'm no lawyer, but it sounds to me like using a text-only page as an
excuse for otherwise inaccessible content is a violation.

I'm no expert, but I thought that Flash WAS inaccessible and therefore
when designing a flash-based site, compliance cannot be accomplished in
any other way BUT by having a text alternative.
