I've seen a lot of confusion and finger pointing over the years on this
topic and experienced the joy and frustration of working with Flash
developers who really wanted to do the right thing only to discover
there were lots of hoops to jump through or that it was just really hard
to get it righ
Thanks for that exposition, Chris. It should really be in a blog or wiki. Much
appreciated.

Thought I just posted this in another thread so I'll post again with a
bit more detail.
Flash can be accessible on platforms that use the MSAA (Microsoft Active
Accessibility) APIs which means not on the Mac. Adobe also supports the
newer cross platform IAccessible2 accessibility APIs so it al
same here. I already use html 5 on youtube. those videos that are html 5
generally are a lot more accessible, especially in safari.

Funny you would mention html5, w3c the web accessibility people are
seeking an
engineer to work specifically on html5 access policy. I have the job

Even Orca for linux has more flash accessibility than VO. However, I hope to
see flash phased out soon and replaced by the leaner and meaner HTML5. Flash is
inefficient, proprietary, and a resource hog compared to the concept of
building the player into the HTML markup. Just saying. :) I hope to
I think NVDA is the only one then. I just called a jaws user here in town to
ask about his experience and he reported that jaws was unable to read any text
embedded inside flash graphics and he only had minimal access to the player
controls. still, it is worth investigating to see if jaws can do

still, it such a pain in the butt to have to deal with websites that have
nothing but flash. take my cell provider: t-mobile. they use flash to display
plan info, billing details and payment input fields.
I have repeatedly notified them of the problem over the last year, b
It should be noted that Flash is accessible on Windows with a
Screenreader. I thought I better mention this because someone inferred
that it wasn't accessible at all with screen readers. In fact, it is
accessible with NVDA screenreader which is free. Lack of Flash

flash is such a pain mostly because the company never bothered to make it
accessible. unfortunately, there is no screen reader that can readit. as for
apple support, you are correct.
one point, the place you are taking the course from may be violating the US ADA
and you might have legal recou
Hi all,
Can anyone send me a simple source that explains why flash is such a major
closed door?
I am *trying* to get access to an on line course, where the audio for the
class would be just as good, especially with what one must pay. even their
order page triggers a forbidden error, so i want
