Hello Eric, In March of 2010, almost a year ago, Adobe posted a blog announcing that the next "major" release of Flash Player will, <begin quote> "...enable accessibility across all three major operating systems (Windows, Mac, and Linux)." <end quote>. Apparently the next major release will be Flash 11, or whatever they choose to name the successor to Flash Player 10. Unfortunately, Adobe very recently released Flash Player 10.2 which leads me to think they are still far away from a new major release. I've pasted the link to this blog post and you might consider adding a comment to the bottom of the post, as it appears some other folks on this list have previously done.
