NOTE
NOTEIf you call this method within one or two seconds of the first appearance
of the Flash window in which your document is playing, you might get a return
value of false even if there is an active Microsoft Active Accessibility (MSAA)
client. This is because of an asynchronous communication mechanism between
Flash and MSAA clients. You can work around this limitation by ensuring a
delay of one to two seconds after loading your document before calling this
method.
