The Flash CS4 Professional authoring tool is not generally accessible to users without any sight, in part related to the timeline-based workflow and visual stage. However, developers interested in working with Flash can use Flex Builder (an Eclipse-based IDE) effectively to create SWF files or they can use a text-editor to write actionscript files that can be compiled into SWF with the CS4 Pro authoring tool's compiler.

Thanks,
