Mike,

I suspect that the Flash user interface is, in some basic inbuilt way, 
inaccessible.  JAWS scripters have developed scripts to work with 
certain Flash programs; but they do not appear to work in every relevant 
situation.  have you seen the BBC iPlayer?  it seems very good:  But 
there is at least one thing it can't do, regardless of screen-reader, 
despite promises made by the BBC with the best of intentions about two 
or three years ago.  You can move by percentages through BBC programmes, 
but you can't move (fast/forward-rewind) by time in minutes/seconds, in 
either music or speech programmes, which - if you were sighted and 
didn't depend on a screen-reader - you can do.
(This becomes important, say, in a two- or 3-hour-length radio programme 
you are listening back to.)
