We've done some 508 Flash (not Flex) stuff a couple of years ago and used
Jaws to test it. In our experience, Flash's Accessibility hooks were not
exactly perfect and if our app changed state too much and gave too much
information to the accessibility engine, it would choke and die. Eventually
we got it working, but it's far from the rainbow colored magic pixie dust
that Adobe would like you to think it is. Of course, that was two years
ago, so maybe it's gotten better.

Like Scott said, test with a keyboard only. I'd go a little further though
and turn off your monitor as well. This is what a completely blind person
will experience - keyboard only, no monitor.
