We have tested many Flex-based applications, mostly for e-learning, and the same issues apply. If anything Flex-based applications are worse because they tend to be more interactive. Designers often create their own form controls so they can style them however they want, and these are almost never accessible.
Furthermore, Flex-based applications are often accesible to such an extent that the screen reader user thinks they are working correctly even though some static and/or dynamic content is not accessible or is not presented correctly. This can cause frustration and waste time, and it would sometimes be preferable if the application presented a barrier from the outset rather than sucker the user into thinking it works when it actually doesn't. I think we're getting way off topic here so anyone who wants to discuss this further should contact me off-list.
