Just my two pence but I think what you really need to do is add an audio layer to that flash site. As an example one of the sites we host (its not at all accessible code-wise) has audio to say hello and indicate what you can do on a page. I think similar use of audio on that site to read it from the flash would be a nice touch. Then it'd be accessible to blind users who don't have a screenreader too (...they must exist)

Unanticipated sound can cause issues. I have problems with Web content that a) makes noises without asking and/or b) has movement without asking.*

Please don't do this, unless it is by activation of a 'play audio' control.

Cheers
