RE: set focus to button

setFocus isn't going to do what you want unless you are in forms mode
with JAWS or Browse-off in W-E.

If you make a substantial change occur when a user clicks on the next
button, the screen reader can go to the top of the page and allow the
user to start from there. The screen readers make the determination
about what a substantial change is.

What you're describing is a particular challenge and a difficult problem
solve. Unfortunately there's not a recipe to follow.

By last saw that your previous question about flash was answered on a
different mailing list -- did that work out for you?

Subject: [WebAIM] set focus to button



HI,



I am creating a small quiz kind of a thing wherein there will be
a question on the stage along with four images (these are 4 movie
clips).

User can click on any of the image and then click on next button
in order to go to the next question.

When user clicks on next button, another question with four
images comes on the stage.
When user clicks on the next button I want the focus to be on
first image (movieclip1).

I have these movie clips on the stage: mc0, mc1, mc2, mc3
And I am loading image on these movie clips with this code:
mcname.loadMovie("");

Now, how can I bring focus on the first movie clip on click of
next button?



I have tried using selection.setfocus but id didn't work.



Any suggestion?



Thanks...
