Yes, I know it's late

Macromedia is planning an evangelizing tour to tout the new accessibility features of Flash MX. Considering the legions of Flash designers out there that probably may never learn how to design Flash objects accessibly one wonders if an upgrade and a few tutorials will help. It is true that Flash finally supports MSAA (Microsoft’s Accessible Technologies API) and that should improve things a bit on Windows platorms. I don’t know about other platforms though and, considering some of the rather egotistical statements about Flash replacing ordinary Web pages entirely, I am not too hopeful.
