If it's got Flash and no alternative it is simply not accesible IMHO.

But is it possible that there is a bigger question.

If I have a website that requires a visitor to download my own (free)
software to view the site, software that that supports all "published
accessibility standards", but without which the site can NOT be viewed, can
that site be deemed "accessible"?
