Probably an accessibility application that can be run prior to publishing a
SWF that would recommend/nag the author to add image equivalents and
captions.

ha ha :-)

A text-to-speech app would be cool, too.

I do like the keyboard support in the tutorial.

The biggest drawback to us, as extension developers is still, however, Flash
Player support. I know Adobe's stats are optimistic, and that's
understandable, but there still is a very measurable audience that has no
Flash Player, has an old version and does not know how to upgrade, has an
old version and is not allowed to upgrade, uses a 64-bit browser, etc.

For them there is simply a blank screen.
