Brenton: In my previous Job we build sites for kids to read be able to read stories online in Flash. Accessibility was a major issue that we where only able to get over by having a HTML version of the sites, even if our stories where narrated. This is because we where unable to have Jaws navigate in the flash application itself, and having a visually impaired person use the mouse to navigate, even with roll-over sound, is not what we would call accessible.
Would it be possible to have something work with Jaws? I would say yes. Would it be easy to navigate, enjoyable and worth the time? I don't think so.
