Within a Flash movie, it is not possible to set the focus of a screen
reader.

Cheers,

Subject: [WebAIM] Set Focus in flash with JAWS running

HI,



Is there any way in flash where we can get the focus to the desired
location
on click of a button?

For Example: Suppose, we have 3 text fields and 3 buttons on a stage.
When
we run the application with JAWS running, on click of "button_1", the
focus
should go to "text1_txt" and jaws should start reading the text from
that
text field. Same applies to rest of the buttons and text fields.

Can we do this using action script or java script is required?
