Hi Tyler: Click to flash is a plugin extenuation that, as I understand it, prevents flash images from getting in the way of text content on a webpage. Flash content on the Mac with voiceover is a no-go. I also had an experience where eventhough I had disabled click to flash, the page images were blocked, which seems strange to me.
