Sorry, I didn't mean to be patronising.

Oh, I didn't feel it this way, I really appreciate it, I'm sorry if it sounded ungrateful.

I've no idea if that's typical. I was under the impression that IE
comes with the Flash plugin installed by default, but I don't know
that for sure. I've never intentionally installed the Flash plugin,
but it's there in IE.

Ah, that's true, or at leas AFAIK.

Although it would be interesting to have data on the numbers of people
using assistive technology that also have the Flash plugin installed,
if it turned out that only a small percentage installed Flash, it
wouldn't detract me from wanting to embed Flash accessibly.

Well, I don't think it detracts me. I'm only trying to avoid an extra markup. It might sound bad, but I'm replacing an <h1> with the flash conent by the UFO. So I just want to avoid the situation, that an user of a screen reader (based on eg. IE, having flash an JS on - passing UFO checks) gets the useful <h1> element (for him, when he could not see the visual presentation of its content provided in the flash object) removed and replaced by something he can't read.

Thanks for input!
