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?

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

I replied to this post a few minutes back and attached a file to
demonstrate which was apparently too large.
In general I'll modify Bob's correct response to indicate that it
depends on whether the user is in forms mode or not.
I posted my complete response to our accessiblity Blog:
