What is accessibility?
Section 508 explained
How do I create an accessible site?
quote:

This article provides an overview of the steps needed to build accessible websites. Accessibility is more than just meeting standards. Designers must make thoughtful decisions about which technologies and techniques to use. This article provides and overview of considerations designers must make when building accessible websites.


The site explains the general principles and moves on to how requirements can be met with Macromedia products including Flash.

quote:

Macromedia Flash Player 8 allows users of assistive technologies to access this content in ways not previously possible, making the best experience on the web available to all. When creating accessible rich media using Macromedia Flash 8, it is important to pay attention to the screen reader...A second issue for designers of Macromedia Flash content is device independence. The Macromedia Flash movie must support keyboard- and mouse-based interactions.

There is a great deal of information here that can be translated to any, or no wysiwyg editor.
