Randi,

In my experience, VoiceOver doesn't work well at all with Flash & Flex. IMO,
Adobe's done a great job of working toward improving Flash & Flex
accessibility by providing support for MSAA. In the case of VoiceOver, I
think more of the blame rests on Apple for not also supporting MSAA.

For JAWS users, Adobe provides JAWS scripts at
http://www.adobe.com/accessibility/products/flex/jaws.html which should help
- provided of course the Flex app was created properly.
