Tabindex has nothing to do with the screen reader - tab index refers to
the tabbing between objects with your keyboard (an acessibility issue
for sure). The mask could be throwing it off, not sure what
Screenreader software you are using. I know in the Flash IDE it helps
to use dynamic text fields instead of static ones.
We just had a big discussion on the Flash_Tiger list on Yahoo about Jaws
screenreader and Flash - search for "Flash and JAWS".

Subject: [flexcoders] Flex buttons and screen readers
Hi
I have built an application with buttons behind a mask. The
buttons
have all the usual accessibility tags on them (name, tabEnabled,
tabIndex) but the screen reader is not reading them out.
The only difference between these buttons and other buttons in
the
application is that these are behind a mask.
Has any one come across this before and if so - how did you
solve it?
thanks
kt
