JAWS uses quick navigation keys. You can turn them off by hitting ins+n, if only to diagnose the issue. JAWS builds in additional shortcuts - you can navigate to controls from the ins+f5 control dialog, for example. I'm happy to take a look if you can send a link. AWK Andrew Kirkpatrick

What about accessability/use-ability/SEO-friendly aspects? We just released skins for Flash 8 that support captioning and that are accessible to disabled users. I've got them on our accessibility blog for now, but will move them to the Flash exchange soon. http://blogs.adobe.com/accessibility

Mousekeys should work fine, the main problem is that you can't lean on this feature exclusively for keyboard access in your application. If you enable drag-and-drop functionality in your application the right way handle keyboard access is to implement keystrokes to create an equivalent keyboard
