Harry Potter author JK Rowling recently launched the first site to use a
new form of Flash, which is often used to add interactivity and
animation to a website.
Two years ago, Adobe updated this technology so designers using Flash
could build in accessibility features.
Leonie Watson says: "Flash is a very interesting topic in terms of web
accessibility. It's actually capable of being very accessible indeed.
"It has means for building in captioning for people who are hearing
impaired; it allows soundtracks to be imported very easily so that audio
description can be provided for people with visual impairments; it has a
lot of very easy ways to build in accessibility, providing the developer
sets out to do that from the beginning."

I don't think there are any incorrect statements here. Flash *can* be
accessible, if done right - is what I have heard. Please do correct me
if I am wrong. The fact that many people *do not* take the time to make
it accessible is a different matter.
There is no mention of flash being *more* accessible than websites laid
out with style sheets.
Do avoid quoting articles out of context.
