Speaking as developer whose built large scale .gov websites and applications that met the US government's eGov and section 508 standards, building accessible applications for the flash player is a heck of a lot easier that building for the browser. Of course, there isn't anything inherent to Flex that just auto-magically makes you applications more accessible just because they are in the Flash player. It's still up to us as developers to code our applications in a responsible manner that inter operates well with the existing tools like JAWS (the leading screen reading software). However, there are some things about Flex that make our lives a lot easier. When asked about Flex accessibility (which comes up quite frequently) it's almost a joke to point out that it's as easy as 'accessible = true'.

I know what you're thinking... "Isn't this the same guy who nearly got beat-up for talking smack about Apple and is constantly making fun of PHP/Ruby fanboys?". Guilty as charged. I know I'm not what most people expect from an Evangelist (I actually like Vista, I'm focused on sales and I <3 ColdFusion). However, I think that's exactly why I'm very good at this job and hopefully I can change perceptions about Evangelism and about ColdFusion.
