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 Steve and Matthew,
I've created a new topic because its not related to the previous topic
any more.
I can see the issue with this, I've removed the autostart I had on the
flash player, the nice thing is I can add javascript controls to the
page (I've already got a cookie that remembers the players current state
when you navigate to another page/elsewhere).
I have a div with skip-to links positioned off page, do you think it
would be enough to add a header that says mp3 player controls and then
list them there?
I've tried it anyway, i would appreciate your (everyones) thoughts on
the accessibility of this approach.
The site is http://brendan.o-rourke.org, not much on there content wise
yet because i still have to show him how to use textpattern =P
Cheers
