From my understanding, accessibility is just as much (if not more) about
retrieving the information available on the site as it is about being able
to access a site's functionality. If the Flash files are on the site, an
alternate, equivalent means of accessing their information should be made
available. If it's "nice to have" for a sighted person, it's "nice to have"
for the visually impaired also.
