I'm guessing you mean the browser plugin not the standalone player.

Adobe claim the Flash plugin supports JAWS in Internet Explorer and Freedom Scientific claim JAWS supports it. The Adobe Flash plugin works okayish with JAWS in Internet Explorer, but not Firefox thanks to Adobe's failure to support software choice among the visually impaired. However, a lot of Flash content does not use the accessibility features provided by the Flash plugin. See also (among many possible resources):
