Actually this is something I was thinking about, and I wonder if it
isn't really more of a Safari thing than a VO thing?... It seems as
if Safari isn't making the flash content that it displays visible to
VO?... In order for links to be clickable, a browser needs to know in
some fashion, that they exist, so, in effect, once that happens, the
browser can then also make them available in some sense to be read.
Even if that is simply just to say that there's something there...
Am I making sense?...
To a degree, it does involve the flash authors making the content
accessible in the sense of properly labeling there content, but other
than that, it still can be a function of Safari...
Anyway, am curious for thoughts on this, and obviously,any
corrections would be welcome. <smile>
Have an awesome day, All!...
Smiles,
Cara :)

I doubt Apple can do much about it. Adobe, who now own Flash, need
to make use of the Apple Accessibility API, accessed by VoiceOver,
to expose Flash content and functionality to VoiceOver from the
Flash plugin the same way they expose it via the Microsoft Active
Accessibility framework to Windows screen readers.
