1. hhmm not bad but still quite vague about the specifics. I'd really like to see a site that deals with more of the specifics. Making Flash accessible is difficult, time-consuming, frustrating and expensive, and if Macromedia are serious about promoting accessibility in Flash they should give developers much more help than they do. There are so many nasty pitfalls to encounter on the way (such as hyperlinks in dynamic textfields not being accessible, the accessibilty panel being effectively useless for anything except the most basic non-interactive movies...)
I think the ideal should be that accessible flash should be as easy as accessible HTML, where if you just build your page according to the correct standards and add 'alt' tags to the relevant images then you're 99% there.

3. "I'd really like to see a site that deals with more of the specifics."

Which specifics, specifically?

Have you checked the site yet?
http://www.macromedia.com/resources/accessibility/

And are you still of the mind that "accessibility means turning everything into a single linear stream of English words", or are you aware of the wider sense yet? (Seems the former, since you raise that HTML comparison.... yes, dynamic stuff is hard to make linear, so expect to see the debate change terms in six months or so as this realization sinks in among the text-supremacists.)
