Hi, Often in Flash content, you can activate buttons with your spacebar and go between controls with the tab key. So, hit when presented with a Flash movie, try hitting your spacebar to start, if that doesn't work, then hit tab once and try hitting the spacebar again. Repeat a few times and one of them may be the "play" button. Regarding Adobe's commitment to accessibility, I'm not trying to start an opinion war here, but claiming that Adobe does not care about accessibility is not valid. The little battle between Apple and Adobe with respect to accessible API's within Flash content is certainly frustrating but accusations such as that are simply false.
