Let us be clear. Flash content can be made 100% keyboard friendly, as the
Player and Plugin both support it. In a HTML document however, you are bound
by browsers (and in your case, third party assistive software) to work with
the Flash Plugin. Like HTML and CSS, browsers can barely agree on 100%
compatability so there is no perfect way ... that said, the webcredible link
I gave demonstrates how well it can actually be done (peeking at the code
however, there is quite a bit to get ones head around). Does it not work
with screen readers?
