Re: [flexcoders] Accessibility and imported components
I will, hopfully, have a JAWS upgrade coming soon. I am using IE and the wmode is set to window. JAWS is finding the movie and even reading the name and description strings set for a button in the movie. It seems to not be able to find any of the imported components. I think I have an architectur problem on my hands(?). The button it is finding is added to to application level in mxml. The imported stuff is being added through ActionScript. I'm thinking maybe the components have not been fully created at the time I am calling updateProperties (even though I have set the timeout to like 10 seconds). - Jason On 1/31/07, Andrew Kirkpatrick <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: 6.0 is really buggy.

RE: [flexcoders] Accessibility and imported components
6.0 is really buggy. I recommend 6.1 or 7.0/7.1. 8.0 is also out but not quite "proven" yet. Other things to look for: 1) don't use anything except wmode=window in the HTML object params. 2) You need to use IE If those don't help, send me a link and I'll take a look.

Re: [flexcoders] Accessibility and imported components
I have tried it in both forms mode and virtual cursor modes, in JAWS 6.0.65U . - J On 1/23/07, Andrew Kirkpatrick <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Jason, The short answer is that it does work.

RE: [flexcoders] Accessibility and imported components
Jason, The short answer is that it does work. The longer, more useful answer requires more information from you about what you've tried, and how you are using JAWS (e.g. are you in forms mode or virtual cursor mode) Thanks, AWK > -Original Message- > From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jason Goodwin > Sent: Tuesday, January 23, 2007 3:25 PM > To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com > Subject: [flexcoders] Accessibility and imported components > > *RE POST (my thread got hijacked) > > I have an app with lots of imported components.
