On the other hand, the new version of Abode Acrobat Writer has made
great strides in making PDF files more accessible to those with visual

Which is why you should only use Flash for additional functions that
can't be delivered any other way, not for basic functionality, and
certainly not for entire sites.
Flash MX claims to be accessible, it's just that there's only one screen
reader (which of course you have to pay for) which currently supports
it.
