Nicol, I appreciate the thought being made here, but honestly I don't feel ActionScript is a good choice for a blind developer. Maybe you do or don't know this but ActionScript is basically the scripting portion of Adobe's Flash Player. As such it uses quite a lot of Flash content and controls, and I suspect accessibility could be an issue in a lot of cases.
Admittedly I'm not an expert at ActionScript, since I don't really use it myself, but I'd recommend any blind developer wishing to program audio games to stay from web scripting solutions like ActionScript, JavaScript, etc because they simply aren't the way to go when developing games and apps. Those scripting languages do have there place, but they were not designed for serious application and game development. Those who do are generally referred to as "script kiddies" by serious developers because instead of going about learning programming and software development the right way they play around with script languages usually not intended for the use they are employing them for. Cheers!
